A comprehensive list of books that apply to all of the subjects discussed on this wiki would be impossible. That's called a Library.

However, this Goodreads Shelf lists the ones that contributed most significantly to the belief system described here. The top 42 on the list could be considered the necessary prerequisites, but really as long as you read a few books from each of the main categories described on the webinar series page you should get enough background information and ideas to serve as a foundation.

It is safe to assume that the key ideas presented in any of the books on this list have been considered and assimilated into the body of work being presented here.
