The Best Books About Spirituality & Mysticism

This is probably my favorite category of book, and I’m inclined to read in every direction. If you’re a listener to my podcast, Pulling the Thread, you’ll recognize Carissa Schumacher’s book (with Yeshua), The Freedom Transmissions—you can listen to our first conversation here, and our second conversation here. I also love Gurdjieff and the wisdom traditions and have found Cynthia Bourgeault to be my favorite guide in that space. (I love Eye of the Heart in particular.) And then of course there are people like Thomas Merton, a complete delight.

Please, as always, drop recommendations in the comments, I am always all ears for more books to read. The link below will take you to a shelf I curated on Bookshop with my picks—I earn an affiliate commission there, but it is ALWAYS MY PREFERENCE that you shop at and support your local bookseller, so no pressure to buy via Bookshop. This is the easiest way for me to organize and keep picks updated. Happy reading!
