In service to the principles of clarity and truth, I’ve compiled a resource list of people and organizations whose work I endorse as authentic and serving the good.

Recommended Books

To read is to derive wisdom from the minds of sages, power from the words of scholars, compassion from the hearts of poets. The books recommended here are selected because they have the power to change your life for the better. Reading from a variety of genres—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, spiritual texts, and beyond—will grant you the broadest and deepest understanding.

Recommended Films

Films are the convergence of visual poetry, music, mood, story, and character. Great films immerse us in a world that is resonant and true, allowing us to dance in that reality for a handful of hours. When done well, we emerge from the other side more fully aware of some facet of ourselves and our world. The films in this list are exceptional in their capacity to awaken that awareness.
