I really enjoyed The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
It has a good condensed summary of practical philosophy as well as a great list of books to check out for further ideas.
Being short on time, the summary was very helpful.
The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday was a short high level description of some aspects of Stoic Philosophy. It opens the door to some of the classics.
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle made me think a lot about being present, that the mind is apart from the consciousness.
Redirect by Timothy Wilson - I like that it is experimental based and debunks a lot of other stuff out there that has no basis for truth.
The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti - reading this now, I really like the daily meditation format. It gives you something to think about.
