The following books form a small collection of works on both awakening-oriented therapy and nondual wisdom. The list is related to this website’s offerings and meant for orientation and inspiration.
It is divided into two sections with the remark that there is an overlap between the two.

Some of the works are introductions and guides to spiritual and therapeutic approaches. Others contain inspired words from contemporary sages. See what resonates with you!
