Books

Beautiful reading material for those that want to delve deeper into various topics regarding spirituality and consciousness.

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle
Most accessible book I'm aware of to learn being present in the here and now. Pay attention and follow the reading instructions laid out at the beginning of the book.
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
Teachings of the Buddha laid out in a very easily approchable and entertaining way.
Old Path White Clouds by Thich Nhat Hanh
The path of the Buddha described in a very beautiful way. Very deep and rich in information at times making it more of a book for advanced practitioners.

Talks

Dhamma Talks by Ajahn Brahm
One of my favorite and in my opinion most approachable teachers for beginners. Beautiful life guidance on a variety of topics. Buddhist Society of Western Australia on YouTube.
