Formless Tao

What books have you read/are reading that you would recommend?

Recommended Posts

I believe its a blessing when a person recommends, lends, gives or brings to our attention a great book.

 

A great book has the power to change our thinking, our actions and our path in life.

 

I read somewhere that change starts in the mind with our thinking. So reading a great book can help with this change.

 

But,

 

"Knowing is not enough, we must apply.

Willing is not enough, we must do."

 

Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee
