Resources

This is in no way an exhaustive list of resources but they are ones that have helped me personally navigate times of personal and planetary crisis. I have either read them, watched them, written in them, or personally worked closely with them. I can vouch for them as useful and worthwhile in so much as they have helped me tremendously on my own journey through hard times. I think they will help you too.
