> If a book is over a century old, such as Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, you can find it for free at the Gutenberg Project.

It was unexpected that Jesse Coomer's Practical Guide to Breathwork, along with Being A Supple Leopard and Essentialism, were absent from this list, as they are indeed essential reads.
