    I like Pema Chodron, Lama Surya Das and Jack Kornfield.
    I’d say Pema is my favourite because she has a great sense of humour but is very warm. kind and grounded. Also her insights are more often than not fresh and interesting.

    Have you read Shunryu Suzuki? He’s passed on, and there’s not many books by him, but I loved his Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind.

    No but I plan to read that book and others on zen Buddhism soon. I’ve been putting off Zen because it looks too esoteric with those koans. Also zazen looks kinda cruel and I can only meditate sitting on a chair.

    Why need a Guru? After a while he/she will suffocate you.

    hi anita
    I’m trying to keep an open mind about Carl Jung. But you might be interested to know that I read something about Carl Jung the other day in the negative. A book called “the Jung Cult” was written by a scholar from Harvard I think. This guy said Jung was secretly hoping to create a cult of followers but not call it a cult of course, have a cloak of respectability.
    Anyway, I will try to maintain an open mind about the guy.
