To know yourself is arguably to learn to place your most intimate experience into the broadest perspective available at your given historical time. This list explores works from various fields of inquiry that can be deemed invaluable guides to self-knowledge and to achieving a fully realized life. Please add works from as many traditions as you can! The more angles of view you provide, the fuller the picture you get. The aim, I think, is to provide enough material to put into perspective the question of how the different narrative frameworks these works provide point to a larger framework for narrating lived experience that contains them all.
