Note:  This list of titles is about understanding/transformation at the individual level, while the one called “Recommended Reading” is more about understanding/transformation at the “big picture” level. All the books in both lists are highly recommended, for sure!! & too, there is much crossover, of course, between “the big picture” & our own individual self-understanding… I’d say, take a good look at both of the lists…
