Founded in 1970, Bodhi Tree Bookstore has seen itself reincarnated more than a few times. From the recent popularity in metaphysical beliefs to the separate annex of used books, Bodhi Tree has grown into the role of an L.A. icon, in addition to offering a thorough selection of books. The perfect sanctuary from the busyness of life, Bodhi Tree specializes in all metaphysical books ranging from eastern religions to diet and health. The staff is a friendly and welcoming bunch, encouraging us to pull up a chair, enjoy a cup of tea, and find enlightenment with The Tao of Pooh. The bookstore also carries an extensive selection of teas, incense, and other New Age trinkets. For those seeking spiritual enlightenment, there's even an actual Bodhi Tree outback.
