Formless Tao Posted September 27, 2013 I believe its a blessing when a person recommends, lends, gives or brings to our attention a great book. A great book has the power to change our thinking, our actions and our path in life. I read somewhere that change starts in the mind with our thinking. So reading a great book can help with this change. But, "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." Bruce Lee Here is my list, Enjoy and feel free to share your own.
