start with why by simon sinek
because I had a huge curiosity
and that book guiding me :)
@ammanahalfian heard a lot about it, will read soon.
what's the one thing you loved about the book, any quote or any lesson?
For me it is "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway. The book, in a graphic and very descriptive manner, explains and shows the brutalities and hardships experienced during wars, and specifically, in this case, the Spanish Civil War. It is based on Hemingway's own experiences during the war, when he was working as a journalist for the North American Alliance of Journalists. I just enjoyed the way this book was written and it is one of the best books that I have read.
@tigerteamx haven't read any graphic novels yet, I guess this one gonna be my first.
just added it to my amazon wishlist.
Le Petit Prince - Antoine de St. Exupery (Everytime i read this book, i read it at least 10 times, you see a different perspective...worth a read)
"Gray House" by Mariam Petrosyan. You may read this book 2-3 times and every time you will find really significant things that could change your mind about the world.

@marilena_n I read it in 2022.
I'd love to know your thoughts about it! What were your key takeaways from the book, and did you find the concepts and strategies helpful in your life?
@nihalkothiyal it actually changed my lifestyle! Now I have my morningh routine before I start work, my mindset is very different from what it used to be, I no longer try to control what I can't and I have accepted that most things that happen to me are probably driven by something I did. How about you?
The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, it's a must-read

The Mom Test by Rob Fitz - totally changed my view of customer interviews
"Zero to One" by Peter Thiel, hands down. It's all about creating something from nothing, filled with brilliant insights on startups.
@nihalkothiyal Yes, definitely.
Let me tell you short story - how this book helped improve my marriage.
We had a fight, and I asked her to talk to me after reading this book. By the time she reached Relationship Mastery - we were both writing down our rules and code of conduct in our marriage. Till this day we follow our mutual rules to be happy and sane!
This is just one small part, and I must say we typically gain knowledge from lots of places, but find the "Tipping Points" in some special books... you get me?
To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. It is a classic novel that explores themes of racial injustice, compassion, and the loss of innocence through the eyes of a young girl named Scout Finch. https://www.yourtexasbenefits.bid/
