      I found a copy of Be Here Now in a thrift store that had a pressed marijuana leaf in it. First time I'd ever seen one. Bought the book and read it, pretty hard to digest and hippy trippy stuff but an entertaining read.

      Be Here Now: Ram Dass

      Avadhuta Gita

      The Art of Communicating: Thich Nhat Hanh

      Open to other recs for non dual meditation / spirituality without a lot of religious dogma.

      Ram Dass - Be Here Now

      Amazing book with mind blowing illustrations about life, purpose and spirituality. Changed my life. Every time I re-read it I discover something new.

      While being definitely more on the hippy-dippy side for some, for me the book that affected me the most was Ram Dass' Be Here Now.
