The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, and Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav are three works I’ve ready many times.

The Alchemist is a novella that is basically an extended parable on following one’s true heart in life. The treasure we seek is often hidden in plain view.

The Prophet is a series of twenty-six verses on the things that make life worth living. The story is a narrative device to set up a conversation between a wise master and the people who seek his wisdom.

Seat of the Soul is a rich meditation on the human experience that lies beyond the five senses: consciousness, intention, authenticity, and reverence, to name a few aspects. I’ve probably bought more copies of this book than any other because I keep giving it away to those I love!
