Pastel Horizon by Dan Sutherland

Suggested Reading

The list below is a collection of the most influential books that I have read over the last twenty years. These publications span the fields of psychology, spirituality, nutrition, self-improvement, eastern philosophy and psychiatry.

In addition, I have included a few love stories, westerns and other general fiction that I have found entertaining. It is important for me to occasionally switch back and forth between genres, just to keep things fresh.

My journey in self-discovery was catapulted into high gear after reading the two Dale Carnegie entries on the list. For the first time ever, I found books that delivered a very simple, practical message. In addition, Carnegie’s use of quotations is what inspired my format for the Virtues of Peace and Tools of the Trade.

The most influential author in my life, however, is Dr. David Hawkins. The basic philosophy of this site was inspired by Dr. Hawkins’ teachings on the paths to enlightenment and the virtues of peace, which are an integral part of all his books. Three other authors, Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle and Michael Singer, also provide substantial information regarding enlightenment.
