These are some books that I highly recommend.
ExtraOrdinary Golf, Fred Shoemaker
Flouting course etiquette, Shoemaker recommends throwing golf clubs. Golfers who have just dunked a ball in their local water hazard might thank him for the permission, but Shoemaker's point--his only mechanical tip--is not to release anger but to restore the relaxation flowing from a confident swing. Since that feeling rarely returns by tinkering with technique, Shoemaker and his coauthor, brother Pete, stress attitude, much in the manner of Michael Murphy's classic Golf in the Kingdom. (Shoemaker, like Murphy before him, teaches inspirational golf at the Esalen Institute.) Once a legitimate aspirant to the PGA tour, Shoemaker soured on the sport, only to realize much later that his problem was worrying how he looked, rather than playing each shot in the moment. Since getting in that zone obsesses every golfer, Shoemaker's pep talk is sure to find an audience, especially among those who like to mix golf with New Age philosophy.

ReThinking Golf, Chuck Hogan
This book is a first of it's kind. Rather than being about "what" to learn in terms of golf swing and mechanics, it is about "how" to learn in a way that makes golf easy, satisfying and a game again. As Chuck has said for more that thirty years, "It isn't golf that is such a difficult game, it is how golf is taught and learned that makes it quite impossible." The fact is that the human brain-body system learns thousand of things and performs them easily, without thinking, in the "zone". Chuck Hogan simply takes his years of research, study and observations to make the learning or relearning of golf as straightforward as learning all of the other skills. You will appreciate that there is no such thing as failure in real learning and performance. You will find this an entirely new, liberating and deeply satisfying approach entering and maintaining competence, confidence and playing golf in the 'zone' as you are designed to do..

Zen Golf, Dr. Joseph Parent
The best players know that great golf comes from confidence and concentration -- the ability to stay in the present and block out distraction. Achieving a clear mind is also at the heart of Buddhist philosophy and practice. In his highly original and groundbreaking book, Dr. Joseph Parent, both a noted PGA TOUR instructor and a respected Buddhist teacher, draws on this natural connection to teach golfers how to play with more consistency and less frustration, and how to lower their scores.











Magical Child, Joseph Chilton Pearce
Right from the instant of birth, says Joseph Pearce, the human child has only one concern--to learn all that there is to learn about the world. But in the West we tend to thwart this concern from the very start. Available once again, Magical Child shows how to restore this amazing capacity for creative intelligence that is innate in every human.












Mastery, George Leonard
The author of The Ultimate Athlete has spent much of his life seeking to master the ancient and demanding martial art of aikido, in which flaws are magnified and the quick fix is impossible. He soon learned that mastery is a journey, and that the master must have the courage to risk failure.












Ben Hogan's 5 Fundamentals
Flouting course etiquette, Shoemaker recommends throwing golf clubs. Golfers who have just dunked a ball in their local water hazard might thank him for the permission, but Shoemaker's point--his only mechanical tip--is not to release anger but to restore the relaxation flowing from a confident swing. Since that feeling rarely returns by tinkering with technique, Shoemaker and his coauthor, brother Pete, stress attitude, much in the manner of Michael Murphy's classic Golf in the Kingdom. (Shoemaker, like Murphy before him, teaches inspirational golf at the Esalen Institute.) Once a legitimate aspirant to the PGA tour, Shoemaker soured on the sport, only to realize much later that his problem was worrying how he looked, rather than playing each shot in the moment. Since getting in that zone obsesses every golfer, Shoemaker's pep talk is sure to find an audience, especially among those who like to mix golf with New Age philosophy.

Freedom from Fear, Dr. James V. Durlacher
Dr. James V. Durlacher Author of Freedom From Fear ForeverDr. Durlacher practices holistic alternative health care caring for the emotional, physical and nutritional sides of the health triangle. He is a licensed chiropractic physician, practicing since 1963. He is a Charter Certified Teaching Diplomate of the International College of Applied Kinesiology and a member of the Advisory Board of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology.










The inner game of golf, Timothy Gallwey
Long before Dr. Bob Rotella made tweaking a golfer's head as important as tweaking his swing, Tim Gallwey, who knew virtually nothing about the mechanics of the game when he penned the first edition of this visionary work, understood that even the best technique collapses when the mind cracks under the game's pressure. Gallwey's ultimate insight into the game was that a golfer's mind is a golfer's worst enemy; too much thinking only gets in the way. The new edition of this groundbreaking instructional continues to preach such "Inner Game" fundamentals as trust, concentration, visualization, feel, and relaxation, and is full of what Gallwey calls "awareness exercises." Much of what he has to say seems obvious in a world in which most good athletes have some kind of psychological guru always at the ready to help improve performance, but Gallwey, with his bagful of anecdotes and encouragement, was one of the first to explore this uncharted territory, and still remains one of the most readable. --Jeff Silverman

Tiger's Bond of Power, Chuck Hogan
This book is an in depth explanation of the conditions which allow Tiger to be the best at his trade and why he plays more efficiently than his peers. In the words of Davis Love, "Something is going on with him that is not going on with us." This book explains "what" is going on with Tiger. It goes on to show how we can all give these ingredients to our children and assume the same for ourselves.










Sacred hoops, Phil Jackson
An inside look at the higher wisdom of teamwork from Chicago Bulls' head coach Phil Jackson. At the heart of the book is Jackson's philosophy of mindful basketball -- and his lifelong quest to bring enlightenment to the competitive world of professional sports, beginning with a focus on selfless team play rather than "winning through intimidation". Sacred Hoops is not just for sports fans, but for anyone interested in the potential of the human spirit.










Golf in the Kingdom, Michael Murphy
Esalen Institute founder Michael Murphy's divine meditation on the royal and ancient game defied categorization when it was first published in 1972, and it still does. Instantly hailed as a classic, Golf in the Kingdom is an altogether unique confluence of fiction, philosophy, myth, mysticism, enchantment, and golf instruction. The central character is a wily Scotsman named Shivas Irons, a golf professional by vocation and a shaman by design, whom Murphy, as participant in his own novel, meets in 1956 on the links of Burningbush, in Fife. The story of their round of golf together culminates in a wild night of whiskey and wisdom where, as Shivas demonstrates how the swing reflects the soul, their golf quite literally takes on a metaphysical glow. The events alter not only Murphy's game, but they also radically alter his mind and inner vision; it's truly unforgettable. For a golfer, Murphy's masterpiece is as essential as a set of clubs.

Eat Right 4 Your Type, Dr. D'Adamo's
If you've ever wondered why the latest fad diet doesn't work for you... well, there are lots of reasons, mostly the fact that it's a fad diet. But it could also be that you're the wrong blood type for the kinds of foods the diet recommends. Peter D'Adamo makes a persuasive argument that your blood type is an evolutionary marker that tells you which foods you'll process best, and which will be useless calories. He covers the entire range for each of the four blood types, from entrées to condiments and seasonings, and also makes type-specific exercise and lifestyle recommendations.
