There were many books that inspired me but the one that recently inspired me was Coming to Our Senses by Jon Kabat-Zinn. The author added the following quote to his doctoral dissertation: “He who dies before he dies does not die when he dies” (Kabat-Zinn, 2005, p. 486).

don’t you feel that his novels draw too rosy a picture at times?

Envy the well grounded depiction! I have to wait a little more to get myself grounded online.
Just one representative book: Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha ( original in German, I read its English translation). Hesse was inspired by his mother’s land, India where she lived 20 years. I admire the theme and its treatment.
