Siddhartha
by Herman Hesse, Gunther Olesh, Anke Dreher, Amy Coulter, Stefan Langer, Semyan Chaichenets
Comment: "Siddhartha's special mantra for success: "I can think, I can fast, I can wait". A book that questions the meaning of life. Siddhartha is a fictional character and contemporary of Buddha. "
by Richard Bach
Comment: "How we program our lives with everyday thoughts - thought by thought. Brings to mind the Bhagavad Geeta statement: 'Mind alone for mortals is the cause of both bondage and liberation.' Talks about coincidence as the outcome of subtle intentions and not a mere accident. Looks true, if my own experience is to be believed. I was completing the book on a flight that was booked at the last minute. My mother and I were the last of the passengers to disembark. I passed the cockpit and found the friendly co-pilot responding positively to my taking a look at the cabin. I told him about the book I was reading and was promptly invited to take his seat and explore the control panel. An experience totally unexpected and coincidental. By the way, the book was given to me for reading by my nephew who has just completed his flight training for pilots."
