What people on Hacker News said
Short zen stories that drive home a point per story. Suggest thinking about one of the stories for a whole day each and every day. Helped me relax and be okay with who I am and what I am accomplishing.
For Buddhism I enjoyed Zen Flesh, Zen Bones by Paul Reps, mainly a collection of translated koans.
If I only had one book this would be it.
