Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl.

Always, always, always. I've re-read this so many times, highlighted the shit out of it. It's one of the most amazing books ever.

"Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda. And other books by him... like "The Science of Religion".

Glad to see you mention Autobiography of a Yogi. - my favorite book.

And I agree that all of Paramanhansa Yogananda's books are outstanding.

Currently I am reading "God Talks with Arjuna", Yogananda's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita - so much there on every page.

Nathanial Altman's The Nonviolent Revolution introduced me to a deeper understanding of Ahimsa, which is the spiritually based practice against non-violence. As a vegetarian, everything that I learned about Ahimsa through the pages of this book made so much sense and made me more than ecstatically happy to find there was already a movement for something that I felt alone in believing in. Read this book and you will be opened up to the unity that should be felt among all living creatures on Mother Earth; it's incredible.

I'd also recommend a book by Mark Kurlansky called Nonviolence - The History of a Dangerous Idea, fascinating and inspiring!

Or, if you would be interested in applying nonviolence to your personal communication there is Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication mentioned in Victoria Boutenko's 12 Steps to Raw Foods.

And food for thought on the subject:
"the attempt to achieve and maintain justice, or to undo or prevent injustice, is the one and only universal cause of violence." James Gilligan - Violence
