Trey’s Curated Recommendations: TV / Docos / Movies / Books / Podcasts / Spotify / etc

If you consume everything on this list, you will really level up our friendship. I started this list during the first Covid and then I continue to add & modify it over time as I attempt to decrease the entropy of the panoply of options to consume…

Note: Some of these movies are hard to categorize, so they may appear in a few of my lists… also, the streaming of many of these movies can be hard to find… You can always use websites like JustWatch or Reelgood to check the current availability of these movies in your region.

BOOKS ABOUT REALITY AND SPIRITUALITY

Do you feel like reality is a bit weird and you don’t feel quite right here on Earth? Or maybe you have a feeling of awakening? Dig in. Go in the order below if you wish and enjoy!

  • “Three Waves of Volunteers for the New Earth” by Dolores Cannon – my #1 non-fiction book! This explains a system of the universe and life that makes sense to me after not only all my studies in science and philosophy but also from some things I have experienced in the spirit world. It pairs well with the next book. Also, the audio book has wonderful readers.
  • “Journey of Souls” by Dr. Michael Newton – 29 amazing case studies of people that were hypnotized and not only discuss fascinating past lives, but they spend a lot of time talking about the time between lives with their soul friends as they choose their next mission to Earth.
  • “Many Lives Many Masters” by Dr. Brian Weiss – Another great non-fiction book about a doctor who gets healed by his patient as much as heals her. Together, with the above two books, these form an alloy of the truth of the nature of consciousness, souls, and why we are all here.
  • “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho – A fiction book filled with the truth
  • “The Convoluted Universe” a series of books by Dolores Cannon. Case study after case study of people that have experienced not only past lives here, but on other planets. The level of detail and the overlapping accounts from different people from all walks of life all around the world form a web of stories that reinforce one another without any contradictions. Truly fascinating.
  • “Journeys Out of the Body” by Robert Monroe – An amazing book by a skeptic like me where he details story after story of how he learned to leave his body and have the most incredible experiences.
  • “Destiny of Souls” – The incredible sequel to the above book by Dr. Michael Newton. There are about 60 new case studies that build on different aspects of the first book. Mind-blowage.
  • “Seth Speaks“ – This rather amazing book by Jane Roberts is a remarkable series of channelings where one of their friends from the great beyond dictates an entire book. It touches on many of the same aspects as the Dr. Michael Newton and Dolores Cannon books, even though it predated them when it was published in 1971. The audio book is quite nice too.
  • “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer – I may like this even better than Ekhardt Tolle, and that’s saying a lot…
  • Eckhardt Tolle books “A New Earth” + “The Power of Now”
  • “The Holographic Universe: The Revolutionary Theory of Reality” by Michael Talbot – an amazing look at quantum physics that is understandable even if you are not a hardcore science nerd
  • “In My Own Way” by Alan Watts – I love all of Alan’s books and this one is a great entryway!

OTHER BOOKS

I have a lot more books to add… just a quick amuse-bouche for ya there!

  • “The Name of the Wind” by Patrick Rothfuss – my #1 fiction book… read this and we can really be besties 🙂 There will be more books, but for now, just two in the series. The second one is “The Wise Man’s Fear.”
  • “The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness” by Naval. It’s by far one of my favorite books… he has some of the most lucid thinking I’ve ever encountered.
  • Yuval Noah Harari books – “Sapiens” + “Homo Deus”
  • Matt Ridley books – start with “The Origins of Virtue” and “The Red Queen” or “Genome”
  • “Sex at Dawn” by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha. A fascinating book about the sexual history of humans.
  • “How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us about Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence” by Michael Pollan (also a great Netflix series!)
  • Neal Stephenson books –  “Ananthem” + “Cryptonomicon” + “Snow Crash”
  • “The Etymologicon” by Mark Forsyth – if you love words like I do, this book is like nothing I’ve ever come across.
  • “Mistborn” by Brandon Sanderson – A gripping fantasy series set in a world where certain people can ingest metals to gain magical powers.
  • “The Martian” by Andy Weir – A gripping and scientifically accurate tale of an astronaut stranded on Mars, fighting for survival.
  • “Project Hail Mary” – Andy Weir – the audio version is great with the alien voices
  • “Guns, Germs, and Steel” by Jared Diamond – A thought-provoking analysis of the factors that contributed to the rise and fall of various civilizations throughout history.
  • “Drug Use for Grown-ups” by Dr. Carl Hart – a Columbia Professor whose expertise shines in his push for decriminalizing drug use.
  • “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu – An ancient Chinese treatise on military strategy, still relevant today for understanding conflict and competition in various aspects of life.
  • “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield – The War of Art identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.
  • “Daemon” by Daniel Suarez – An amazing adventure about a near-future with augmented reality
  • “Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline – a great adventure book about VR gaming in the future with some real twists… the book is way better than the movie.
