"The path of personal growth
leads upward,
through the gauntlet
of human experience
to the peaks of human potential.
On this journey we encounter twelve gateways.
Their purpose is evolution.
Their arena is everyday life.
Their secret is action.
And their time is now."
~ Dan Millman
Dan Millman's book Everyday Enlightenment is another favorite of mine. In it, Millman prescribes the path to "everyday enlightenment" in his down-to-earth but no less powerful style of prose.
His "twelve gateways to personal growth" range from taming your mind, to accepting your emotions, to embracing your sexuality and managing your money. I highly recommend it.

Don’t say, “I am depressed.” If you want to say, “It is depressed,” that’s all right. If you want to say that depression is there, that’s fine; if you want to say gloominess is there, that’s fine. But not: I am gloomy. You’re defining yourself in terms of the feeling. That’s your illusion; that’s your mistake. There is a depression there right now, but let it be, leave it alone. It will pass. Everything passes, everything. Your depressions and your thrills have nothing to do with happiness. Those are swings of the pendulum. If you seek kicks or thrills, get ready for depression. Do you want your drug? Get ready for the hangover. One end of the pendulum swings over to the other.
~ Anthony de Mello
