For those who aren't religious, what is your "Bible"?
Religious people often turn to a religious text when they need some guidance or uplifting. I’m not religious, but I really loved Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth and find myself opening it up for helpful quotes when I’m having a hard time dealing with an issue.
For the rest of you who don’t follow a religion, where do you turn for this type of “pick me up?”
