I was hoping to see Thoreau here. I'd also recommend his book Walking, maybe even to be read before Walden. It identifies and preempts a lot of what the 'mindfulness' industry deals with and reorients it all around an idea of wilderness. But I'd also be careful reading Walden. I don't think it's a literal instruction manual as some have taken it.
