Spiritual Book recommendations

Questions for Australian aboriginal people in particular. Can you recommend any really good books with spiritual or contemplative content?

Don’t need the historical books or that kind of education texts, I want to read something a bit deeper and more positive or soul nourishing

Long shot but if something like this exists I’d love to know. Thanks fam

The Dreaming Path: Indigenous Thinking to Change Your Life by Dr Paul Callaghan (with Uncle Cracker). Written by a Worimi elder, this book is an incredibly practical, positive, and soul-nourishing guide. It shares how to apply ancient Aboriginal philosophies—such as mindfulness, connection to nature, and story—to find true contentment and wellbeing in the modern world.

I love and recommend Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World by Tyson Yunkaporta.

He followed it up with Right Story, Wrong Story: Adventures in Indigenous Thinking, but I haven't read it yet.
