Hey LJ reviews, very good list of readings to check out. I've only read two of these before and I must say, they were very powerful works that have influenced me till this day. These works are not just philosophical reading that are meant to be understood, they are also meant to influence you in a positive way so you can implement this knowledge in your everyday life.
