Hallo,

What real helped me to start thinking in "The Clojure Way" are the
Talks that Rich gave. You can find some of them here
http://clojure.blip.tv/posts?view=archive&nsfw=dc

I think you should check out the "Clojure for Lisp Porgrammers Part 1
and 2". In talks he goes deeper because he does not have to explain al
the Basics of Lisp (like he head to in "Clojure for Java Programmer")

The others like "Clojure Sequences", "Clojure Data Structures" or
"Clojure Concurrency" and the really interesting too.

Then there are a couple of talks online on InfoQ. Here some links I
looked up but there is more.
