What book, fiction/non-fiction, changed a part of you and how?

by•
For me it was Forty Rules of Love, by Elif Shafak, and it greatly changed my understanding of my faith.

Came here to look for the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" comments 😂

Thus Spoke Zarathustra- Haven't completed it, but, it's beautiful in it's hope and hopelessness. Possessing the Secret of Joy- the story, the constant inner dialog, and what comes out - so real, painful, and moving.
thank you! Will be adding this to the reading list.
Possessing the Secret of Joy is a heart crushing book.
This is going to be weird but the Percy Jackson series. It was the first series that got me hooked to reading. Every time I've been in a reading block, I pick up a Rick Riordan book because his writing is so immersive that it pulls me out of it.
This is great. It is also fantastic for getting kids interested in history and mythology. Immersive is exactly the right word.
yes yes yes! One hundred percent with you on this. I feel the same about Rick. And Rick feels like a friend I can call Rick.
"L'île mystérieuse" - Jules Verne which made me want to become engineer and which led me to a lot of things I'm doing nowadays
Is it in english?
the original is in french but you can for sure find an english version
Unfortunately, none, yet. I clearly need to read more!

I recently read 'The Almanack of Naval Ravikant' by Eric Jorgenson. It was simply superb. It is available for free somewhere! I consider Naval as the modern-age Gautama Buddha!
would hate to download it for free, being an author myself. But shall definitely pick it up.
Naval's wisdom is so interesting!
The Challenge for Africa by Wangari Maathai. I always borrow from her courage to do what she feels is right.
Looking this up now!
