Question

Can you recommend a book for a present?
My son is very unusual. He is years old and currently studying philosophy and religion for his degree. He is undergoing quite an intense personal journey and feels he is onto something big but doesnt know what it is yet. He is as much a pacifist in daily life as he is politically, is sensitive and feels very strongly about the state of the contemporary world. I would like to give him a very meaningful book that would help him find this something big. It will need to engage him on an intellectual level. Please give me some suggestions, along with your reasons. Thankyou
