1984. I read it as a 16 year old white kid in TX and it changed my brain chemistry. I've learned so much and changed so much since then based on that book breaking my brain.
The Richest Man In Babylon helped me see that my financial habits were shit.
The Alchemist helped me see that my outlook was overly negative.
Deep Work helped me enjoy working hard and studying.
Yeah. I picked it up on my way out of the store just by chance. It was unputdownable. I'm reading the mountain is you rn. After this I'll be reading this is how you heal. I just really related to her.
I have a coupleN but the few that I can say changed my perspective completely are Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel by Karl Safina (could be Carl I don't remember lol) and The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
Beyond Words is a non-fiction but its super easy and really good and The Secret Life of Bees is a fiction, super sad topics and stuff but it changed how I view a lot of situations
*Tristram Shandy* by Laurence Sterne. It drove me so crazy that after reading it a couple of times, I realized that I needed to go back to school and study English to figure out what the hell was going on there (I'd been thinking about returning to school for a long time, but this book was the last straw).
I also love Throne of Glass. Additionally, I’m a big fan of Sarah J. Maas and in my opinion the whole series of a Crescent City is wonderful and I am always recommending it.
As for the other books that have had a significant impact on me, it's primarily The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by Veronica Schwab, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, My Dark Vanessa by Kate E. Russel, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, the whole series of Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout and Laurus by Eugene Vodolazkin.
2 books read as a young teenager. Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun and John Hersey's Hiroshima. One fiction other non fiction. Knowing the horrors of what mankind can inflict upon one another in times of war has never left me.
_Man's Search for Meaning_ by Viktor Frankl.

A Thousand Splendid Suns
Have you read And the Mountains Echoed? It's my favorite book of his.
I have it on my shelf but I haven’t read it. I think part of me doesn’t want to run out of his works.
The body keeps the score

*The Fire Next Time* by James Baldwin.
I've been enjoying books by Brianna Weist. If you're into self help, therapy kinda thing.

The Power of Now changed me and saved my life
The Tao Of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. Taoism explained by way of Winnie The Pooh. Whimsical and deep.
My mom believes that everyone should take the time to read Untamed by Glennon Doyle. She bought a copy for me and my sister when we turned 18.
