These books are real gems in my understanding of spirituality and realism.
Personality Development by Swami Vivekananda-
In this book Swamiji has focussed on the inner development for holistic personality. I got a holistic understanding of self and it’s great potential. Swamiji clarifies well the real motivation and philosophy of a well rounded personality. I recommend it for all my companions.

Patanjali Yoga Sutras treatise by Swami Vivekananda- This was the most conducive way one can explain the yoga philosophy. I found many points very profound. I sometime felt deep meditative state pondering the explanation of Swamiji. If you want to understand the Yoga in real sense, do read it and try to apply in daily life. This book has always awaken my spirituality. Sometime practicing the principles seem a hardship but feels very rewarding as we practice it in real life.

Buddha and his Messages by Swami Vivekananda- It throws his perspective about Buddha and his unique personality- what make him different from other teachers? The summary of it is “the unconditional service of others”. You will find gems spread around these books which will make you think deep(all the books mentioned). I think one can learn a lot from Swamiji’s compelling yet motivating thoughts. They really make us to act.and learn a lot.

GYE handbook by GYE(Guard your eyes) community- This is a very good e-book with some good 18 tools and other tips (It has Jewish touch but can be generalized well for all.) If you read it try not to skip links to other resources/ebooks provided in the ebook itself). This book was recommended to me by fellow companion @EduardoIsraeli.
I found it really relevant to current situation of companions. You can also check out their website.
