Peaceful Warrior
If I may make a recommendation. I was given the book "Way Of The Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman a few years ago, and it totally changed my life. I know that sounds like a bunch of new age junk but I'm totally serious. I had so many issues with my family that we were in danger of never speaking again. Because of the principals discussed in this book I was able to look at the people in my family and the events of my past in a totally new light and I was able to rectify things that had long since been major problems. I'm not saying I'm perfect today but this book helped me put to rest a lot of issues and to take on new challenges that I would never have been able to. And the best part of it was that it was not presented like those awful new age self-help books, it's a semi-autobiographical story, taking parts of Millman's life and putting them into the story of a young man who finds an unlikely mentor at a gas station late one night.
It has now been made into a movie and after seeing the trailer I am so freakin' excited. I hope the movie has as much impact as the book, or at the very least gets people interested enough to read it.
