Hi guys, I'm on the prowl for books/essays/poems/anything really that addresses the human experience and our journey to find peace and personal understanding.

Some of my favorites have been all of Mary Oliver's repertoire, John O'Donohue's "Anam Cara", David Foster Wallace's "This is Water", and Joan Didion's "On Self Respect". These aren't self help pieces per se, but are still written to the reader directly and discuss ways to either find joy or explore yourself.

Other pieces I've explored are "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse, Audre Lorde's essays, and essays by Annie Dillard. I am also interested in the female experience, but welcome any suggestion!

Thanks!
