Bolanle profile picture
Now this is the only recommendation on this list that comes with a heads-up warning. I found it too skewed towards religious beliefs  which made it clunky to digest. But the principles have deep wisdom in them. If you don't mind the christian overlays so much, this is a great book for scorpios to read.
