Absolutely essential reading. Hadot brings the Classics—from Plato and his fellow Platonists to the Stoics and the Epicureans—to life and in the process elucidates the raison d'être of philosophy as spiritual exercises that teach us how to truly live and fully be more human.

Kundera's vision of the novel.

Whether we're aware of it or not, we're all living within a grand narrative that shapes how we think and what we value.

Beautifully simple spiritual biography of Plotinus, the great philosopher and mystic.

American Soto Zen as practiced by the Daido Loori's Mountains and Rivers Order.

Long live the Visceral Realists!

Barnes won the Booker Prize for this concise psychological journey through history and how it's remembered.

PKD's philosophical writings. They are the matrix behind all of this books.

Poetic, transcendent and timeless, Dogen's Shobozenzo is among the most profound documents ever written.

Gnostic, sci-fi genius. PKD suggests this is semi-autobiographical. If so, damn.

Time-jumping, non-linear, satirical brilliance.

Fabulous Literary Horror. I loved this book.
