✳️ What books on #ethics & #mysticism should one read?

The Muawinat-e Tahzeeb-e Hawzeh-haye Ilmiyyeh has recently compiled a list of books on Akhlaq and Irfan which have been written by various Shi'i scholars. This list - which has been published for students, scholars and the general public - is presented below. I have also placed the link for those books which have been translated into English and are available online.
