Below is a small sample of books, music, films, and media sites that have been useful to me to have a more informed and inspired journey. These are not all enlightened stories, instead they are expressive, honest, and, most often, they are heavy. Rather than feeling good the goal is to gain understanding of cultural, historical, and philosophical experiences.
