_The Mind Illuminated_ Hasn't changed my life yet but it might (found it three days ago out on hoopla.com). I say this as someone who has given meditation practice a good college try (more than a year at a time of daily practice) on a couple of occasions. Most books say just keep going and you will eventually fart pixie dust. This book says you can reach advanced practice in under a year BUT requires a consistent one hour a day which might be a deal breaker. This book gets very specific about technique, achievements and expectations which is unique in my experience. And the author is not saying you need to find a "mentor/guide". If you have seen a better book I would love to hear about it.
"Money" (aka fiat currency) is not absolutely money. No money is money without trust. Do I trust my US greenbacks? Mostly, but in the future that will depend on prevailing inflation. Bitcoin has achieved a level of trust and has the advantage of mathematical proofs. Make your choices appropriately.

I would add, for you silicon valley/SF residents, that longnow.org puts on monthly lectures (http://longnow.org/seminars/), some of which are very interesting. E.g. the next speaker is Timothy Ferriss.
Hmm, yes, I am pretty amateur at presenting so I may have gone a little too quickly. I was trying to be brief because I respect my viewer's time but the app has a broad-ish scope. Anyway, anything you could suggest elaborating on?
