Two books get highly recommended time and again in these resources – Zen in the Art of Archery (which I've read many times and always learn from) and "Centering in pottery, poetry and the person" by M C Richards. We have a lot to learn from cultures which are older than ours and they are all rather better than we are at helping people come to terms with themselves. Both books have a lot to tell the musician, as well as the poet and author!
