• A People’s History of the United States is an alternative to the white-washed, racist, colonial history you were likely taught in school. An eye opening red pill, to be sure! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_People%27s_History_of_the_United_States

• Interbeing is Thich Nhat Hanh’s vision for an ethical world. The 14 Mindfulness Trainings are the foundation of Thây’s school, the Order of Interbeing. As an Ordained disciple of Thich Nhat Hanh, I live my life based on these open, loving, inclusive trainings on “living a joyful and mindful life.” https://www.parallax.org/product/interbeing-4th-edition/

• Good Citizens (from the Parallax Press website) “In Good Citizens, Thich Nhat Hanh lays out the foundation for an international solidarity movement based on a shared sense of compassion, mindful consumption, and right action. Following these principles, he believes, is the path to world peace. The book is based on our increased global interconnectedness and subsequent need for harmonious communication and a shared ethic to make our increasingly globalized world a more peaceful place. The book will be appreciated by people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds.” https://www.parallax.org/product/good-citizens/#product-content
