Sticking to eastern wisdom imo. New age takes concepts of those, but adds way too many personal ideas from people to it, hence confusion Don’t think it’s bad, as it opens up people to more possibilties. But once you’ve decided you want to get on with it, original buddhist or hindu scriptures are most useful imo.

The wisdom contained in the Hindu epics like the Mahabharata and the Ramayana is unequalled But the true meanings can not be grasped by most of us, so what I find most useful is to read writings by/about those considered fully realized beings within that culture, who were a living source of the same knowledge

Autobiography of a yogi is a good start, also if interested, Yogananda, who was considered a fully realized being, has written a commentary on the bhagavad gita and what the stories mean. Other things I'd recommend reading are the yoga sutras of Patanjali, and the tao te ching.
