Michael Singer’s book, “The Untethered Soul” was on the NYT’s nonfiction best seller list for a long time. I read it and highly recommend it to everyone. I like how he integrates Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and uses these traditions to get across his core message of letting go and surrendering.
