Salute, anon.

One of the benefits of many anons sharing publicly in a large ever-changing community of strangers, instead of talking to the same 10 people every day in a set group, is that it increases the chances that each person will run into something that is new, challenging, and inspiring to him. Each post might not connect to 900 anons, but connect meaningfully to 100 anons.

Are there a handful of books you recommend, on topics related to your post?

I would recommend "Letting Go" and other books/audio by Dr David Hawkins. (Personally, he does irritate me with his "proven scientific method" about "the calibration of truth by muscle strength testing", but I overlook that for the other valuable content)
