Allalong, just a note about Pema Chodron on your list. I, too, have enjoyed a couple of her books, but I like to dig into the teachers' lineage before going too far down a path with a "popular"/reknowned author and teacher. Especially important if the work resonates with you, if you are citing quotes or engaging more deeply in their practices. She had an abusive and disgraceful teacher that she and others protected, denying abuse allegations when young women approached her in trust. When all was revealed publicly she had to do some backpedalling and step away from the organization. Not to negate her wisdom, but it comes with a hidden cost.
