I can really recommend Breath: the New Science of a Lost Art, by James Nestor. One of those rare books that had a noticeable, positive impact on my life.
It is simply lovely to watch from the sidelines as Western secular culture re-invents the Rosary, Hesychasm, and monastic contemplative silence as "mental health techniques" where God is expunged and superfluous.
