I would highly recommend this book as

A certain amount of space has slowly been adopting a surface area within my mind to start to allow a journey into the deeper parts of the Self. To a place where unresolved emotion, memory, physical pain and the human condition have created a certain amount of blockage in present moment awareness that hinders the ability to relate in a perspective that is most positive, helpful and purposeful.
