What's on your list?
Years ago, I read Alice Miller's 'Drama of the Gifted Child,' thought it was great, along with John Bradshaw, and all of those other 'Inner Child' type people. Wonder how I would feel about them now. Currently reading Jack Kornfield's "A Path With Heart' http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/055337 ... e&n=283155 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0553372114/qid=1147269065/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-0900114-0656723?s=books&v=glance&n=283155)
Very good.
Other books I have enjoyed on this topic are:
'Working Inside Out' Margo Adair
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/055337 ... e&n=283155 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0553372114/qid=1147269065/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-0900114-0656723?s=books&v=glance&n=283155)
For some reason, there are two fiction books that I read over and over that seem to have relevence:
'Washington Square' Henry James
'Body and Soul' Frank Conroy
Also one new one that I think is great:
'The Ha-Ha' Dave King

Three springs...
Someone wrote a book called, The Real AA, or something like that. Meanwhile you can find a lot of info online.
In fact, I did a bunch of postings on here somewhere...
AA was based on an earlier, evangelical movement, called the Oxford Group in England, and Moral Re-armament in the US, and by various other names. It was founded by Frank Buchanon, and they were also called Buchananites. Well-to-do brits would ge together and have meetings, and used many AA principals including anonymity, moral inventories, etc. They wanted to have a personal relationship with god thru fellowship, confession, and striving for 'moral purity.' Of course, it became a cultish movement. Breakaway members, I believe including Bill W., founded AA, using many of the same ingredients. Fascinating.

Here's a good short read:

trying to seize his house with a bogus search warrant, people better ask themselves if they really want to turn their cops into money-makers.
