Light on Yoga – B.K.S. Iyengar

Great illustrated book on Yoga:
Every asana contains several pictures and a detailed description. Some of the asanas are literally impossible!

Baraka (1992)

Great “movie” about human life and religion. I say “movie” because Baraka has “no plot, no dialogue, no actors.”  It contains numerous religious ceremonies and peoples which I never knew existed. The visuals are stunning and I would suggest watching the Blu-Ray version. Really surprising that it only earned $1.3 million in the box office.
Check out the trailer here. Purchase the Blu-Ray here.

Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits – Philip A. Fisher

Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits explains the investment philosophy of Philip A. Fisher.  This book, also recommended by Warren Buffett, supplies the investor with a set of “rules” called the Fifteen Points. Fisher advises one to buy and hold a growth stock “forever” while following the Fifteen Points.

The Natural Mind: An Investigation of Drugs and the Higher Consciousness – Andrew Weil, M.D.

In America there exists a large population of people who lack an adequate education on drugs.  The evidence for this conclusion lies in the government’s miss-classification of various drugs, people’s acceptance of prescription drugs, and the fact that the public education system actually spreads drug ignorance. For an introduction to the whole issue I would recommend reading Dr. Andrew Weil’s book, The Natural Mind: An Investigation of Drugs and the Higher Consciousness.
