Can anyone suggest a book for daily devotional and/or inspirational readings?

Am not looking for something overtly religious in nature, but would like a book (perhaps daily/weekly/monthly essays or devotionals) that will help me spend a few minutes each day thinking about the life I lead, and how to stay focussed on the things that really 'matter' (instead of getting bogged down in petty day-to-day 'stuff').

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

'A New Earth' by Eckhart Tolle

'Holiness' by Donald Nicholl (I know! the title is majorly off-putting. But I return to it again and again. I am not 'overly religious' but this book is steeped in beautiful common sense and how to live a good, true, meaningful life, and draws from all the major religious traditions. I got some slightly raised-eyebrow kinda looks from some of my fellow school mums reading this at the poolside during swimming lessons)

'Words to live by - Inspirations for every day' by Eknath Easwaran. Gives a quote for each day (from a variety of sources) and a reflection. I have recently found it a great book to pick up before meditation or, just to give my mind some spiritual nourishment for the day.
