I find spiritual insight and inspiration in the following (even though I also tend to disagree with aspects of each):
- The Bible and LDS scripture
- Teachings of many LDS leaders (e.g., General Conference and BYU speeches)
- The works of C.S. Lewis
- Works by Stephen Covey and similar self-help and management books
- Ideas of Brene Brown
- Tao Te Ching
- The Triple Path
- The Socratic dialogues
- Kantian ethics
- Utilitarianism
- Some of Tolstoy’s religious writings
- The Church of Reality
- The Church of Spiritual Humanism
- Humanism
- Some of the thoughts of secular humanists like Bart Campolo
- Modern moral philosophy (e.g., What is moral progress?, Being Good and Doing Good, The Virtues of Cold Blood).
- Modern epistemology as it relates to values.
