Enlightening as in i can learn something from it and actualy benifit from it in everyday life. I dont want to read a book for a pretty picture in my head that i cant apply anywhere...i want the effort i put into reading (i read at a 2nd grade level) to come back to me.

Are you honestly at second grade reading level?

In any case, I recommend the book Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. It is an easy read, fairly short, simple story, but the truth it speaks blew me away. If you want a book with ideas that you can apply to your own life, look no further than Ishmael.

I'd recommend "Gandhi's Way: A handbook of conflict resolution" by Mark Juergensmeyer.

I'm reading it right now, and I have to say it's a pretty interesting book. Not much (almost none) technical jargons, and it gives good tips on resovling conflicts (as the title have suggested).

Actually read the dictionary on how to spell "reccomend".
