The Tao of Pooh: "When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?" "What's for breakfast? said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?" "I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said. http://www.amazon.com/Tao-Pooh-Benjamin-Hoff/dp/0140067477

House of Leaves. 1. Because it's not a bible answer, and 2. Because it opened me up to new writing techniques. Also it's bitchingly cool.

Next to the Bible (especially Ecclesiastes), God's Debris by Scott Adams. It has to be the best thought experiment I've ever encountered. It challenges you to consider your beliefs in a new way and gives you the chance to objectively strengthen your world view! It helps you asks the questions that you've suppressed because they are "sacrilegious" even to ask. Asking is never wrong! It's what you do with the material presented that defines "right and wrong"

The Time Trap by Alec Mackenzie Mackenzie provided an exercise that I actually completed. This simple process was so eye-opening for me that I ended up changing my life goals and have since revisted it several times to either confirm or change my life's path. I have seen his exercise ripped off by virtually every other counseling author!
