That Handbook to higher Consciousness is a good one Icelander. :thumbup:

You may want to check Ken Keyes' last book before he died:
Your Road Map to Lifelong Happiness: A Guide to the Life You Want
http://insightandlove.com/sohwhatisandappreciate.htm

The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz in continuously being recommended.

Castaneda is always a good source. Good ones.

Let's keep the thread getting fatter, good source of ideas!

Will you build me a canoe? I was just online and saw one you can build that weighs 8 1/2 lbs :shocked: and one that weighs in at under 20 lbs.

I would love a lightweight canoe that does not cost an arm and a leg.
