No top 3 for me (philosophy is such a vast subject with different points of view) but:

-Carl Sagan

I must say the endless thought-mazes that a lot of philosophy seems to engage is not one of my strong points but I have found much truth in the simple words of Lau Tzu, Rumi and Hesse. (don't know if they formally count as philosophers).

Ah ha, I've read the name Eckhart Tolle enough times now to be silly not to look into it.

What's a good introduction to his works?

Also, I'm thinking Aldous Huxley might hold some weight around here too?

1. Stefan Molyneux - His U.P.B is revolutionary as a discipline in philosophy. He encompasses philosophy, psychology and politics to FINALLY cut through all the bullshit/contradictions that we call 'culture' in a way that is logically valid.
His hours spent in philosophy are well surpassed 35,000 hours, (10,000 hours makes you an expert) which encompasses philosophers like Socrates, Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard and Ludwig von Mises, Nietzsche, Immanuel Kant and many more.
Ayn Rand's Objectivism is what we can all use in everyday life (sense data) philosophy.
Subjectivism/Relativism/Determinism are shown as dangerous in society as there cannot be 'truth'.

2. Eckhart Tolle - Taught me a lot about being 'still' being aware of stillness and your thought paterns.

3. Alan Watts - A nice humourous look at life with some great paradoxical thinking.

https://freedomainradio.com/free/#upb - FREE BOOK(s) on U.P.B - A rational proof of secular ethics. This is WELL worth reading if you want to finally get some logic on how we can prove, "WHY is murder wrong?" "WHY is theft wrong?" "How can we determine what is moral and immoral?" etc.

Tolle is awesome reading material if you suffer from anxiety. I believe reading a new earth free'd me in a way from debilitating anxious thought patterns.i thoroughly recommend "a new earth". Tolle puts his ideas and teaches forward in a way that is very easy to understand, he connects well with the reader, doesn't carry on with jargon, he's a pretty cool fella, also quite funny at times :)
