Depends what you want. Science or philosophy or...? Beginning of Infinity, Rational Optimist, Skin in the Game are all amazing. If you want more eastern philosophy, try Siddhartha, I am That, Jed McKenna.

Siddhartha.

Siddhartha, Vasistha’s Yoga, Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te Ching. I’m always going through one of these books at any given time and usually rereading for inspiration.

Siddhartha is a fictional retelling of the enlightenment stories in the Ashtavakra Gita and the Yoga Vasistha. You may like those.

[I recommend] The Beginning of Infinity Skin in the Game Siddhartha Direct Truth Snow Crash

Siddhartha is so good that it may as well be non-fiction. https://t.co/7fcTHOHqFZ

https://t.co/shINxHbeKL Borges remains the master. The Library of Babel is my favorite, but this is more on point given the Siddhartha discussion:https://t.co/yyyMaehPAI

The book Siddhartha is a beautiful story about the Buddha and it's just really really really well written and sticks with you.

Best classic book philosophy, intro, someone starting out? I love Siddhartha, Herman Hesse’s book. For someone who’s more advanced, Jiddu Krishnamurti; I like his Total Freedom book. Osho’s Great Challenge, Michael Singer’s Untethered Soul. Marcus Aurelius, Meditations.

Depending on your mood, either The Sovereign Individual, Sapiens, Siddhartha, Total Freedom (JK), The Untethered Soul, or the Rational Optimist. Books are cheap, buy all and skim them for the one that grabs you.

From Hesse's Siddhartha.

Maybe some of your readers have read this book called Siddhartha, but it’s a beautiful parallel story to the making of the Buddha by Herman Hesse. It’s a great book, I highly recommend it. But even in that book, our protagonist is out there seeking enlightenment and gets really close, and the thing that drops him out of it is lust. He meets a woman that he feels lustful towards and that slowly becomes his undoing into everything.

And [I] definitely [gift] Krishnamurti’s The Book of Life, Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, Meditations, Marcus Aurelius. These are all fantastic books.

I recently read a book which I think a lot of people have read as a child called Illusions by Richard Bach. It’s a beautiful book. Siddhartha is about a character becoming Buddha-ish and his journey to do that. Illusions is about a character becoming Jesus and his journey to do that.

n the same way if you’re looking for spirituality and internal awareness, Meditations and Siddhartha are the two places I would start because they’re both very light, easy, beautiful reads. Siddhartha, even though it’s been translated from German, is almost lyrical. It reads almost like poetry. It’s a beautiful book.
