Cohello - The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0062502182
A book that you will always remember because it inspired you. A book frequently read and passed along in Thailand.

Heinlein - Stranger in a Strange Land
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0441790348
Very nice book about the differences between "Martian" and "Human" culture, behavior, abilities and thinking.

Kahlil - The Prophet
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0394404289
This book touches your soul. A classic book on how to live and how to appreciate life from many perspectives.

Kasl - If the Buddha Married
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0140196226
A really useful blend of Eastern Buddhism meets Western Psychotherapy. I think she words things in a very simple, directly and useful manner.

OSHO - Love, Freedom, Aloneness: The Koan of Relationships
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0312291620
Excellent book on relationships with Self and others. This man was a controversial modern day guru, but the teachings in this book are so simple and so useful.

Redfield - Celestine Prophecy
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446671002
Quite an inspirational and eye opening view of simple practices that help to raise consciousness and connect with the energy in all life forms, especially the Self.

Ruiz - The Mastery of Love
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1878424424
Excellent book regarding Self love and even more direct (for me) than from The Four Agreements, which is other very excellent and popular book.

Trungpa - Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1570629579
Amazing book teaching in the nature of Tibetan Buddhism. Take time to read and practice with this book.
