books about being human?

[Chris Corrigan]

The Tao te ching by lao tzu ( i like Stephen Mitchell's translation these
days) is like an owner's manual for this life, at least in my experience.
It's very simple, very profound, full of theory, poetry and practices and
surprises, even after many years of reading and befriending it.
