Reading Antifragile by Nassim Taleb was eye-opening for me. I turn to the concepts of the book whenever I feel unsure about a decision or opinion.

Thich Naht Hahn - The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This book is notable for me for making Buddhist philosophy and practices accessible to a western audience, fostering a deeper understanding of mindfulness, compassion, and the path to spiritual awakening. It has been an invaluable resource for my interests in Buddhism, meditation, and personal growth.
