That’s true, the book is very secular and maybe the most scientific you can get about the topics and practices discussed

I still find myself going back to Ram Dass and Alan Watts. There is magic in their experiences which shows in their storytelling. They know very well the limits of their experiences. There is a talk in which Ram Dass is telling story about his Guru and at the same time deconstructing it in a funny way.
They are both amazing storytellers

Love Alan Watts lectures, the way he explains things they just seem to make sense. He’s very good at translating the meaning of eastern philosophies into western concepts

Another person whom I admire more is James Low (from Waking Up app) and also Adyashanti.
