    Anyone recommend any good books about finding yourself, and figuring out one's purpose in life?

    thanks

    Hi Malcolmx88 - I actually don't believe that the answer lies in books...

    The alchemist is kind of along those lines, it was suggested in another thread here so I checked it out and ended up buying it because it was so good. Its a short read to at around 160 pages.

    I looked in the mirror once and didn't see my reflection for a few minutes. I was a ghost ahead of my time. What aspect of yourself are you seeking? Just about all books reflect some aspect of you.

    Weight loss for the mind is a pretty good little book. It's pocket sized so you can carry it with you everywhere. :)
