Did you have a life-changing book to recommend?

The one I am currently reading here, Perfect by Judi Miller, is really having an impact on me right now. I am in a moment in my life where I am kinda unfulfilled spiritually and this book helping a lot.

I grew up with the Harry Potter saga: those books had a huge impact on my childhood and adolescence. Even now I remember them fondly, and when I re-read them I am immediately brought back to the past.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
There is more I can talk about but this is the first one that came to mind.

1. Meditations - Marcus Aurelius - this book got me out of depression, maybe even saved my life, improved my career and really helped me see the world in a calmer way.

2. I'm not being preachy here but any religious text and stories whether The bible, Quran, any Buddhist or Taoist text, anything on Stoicism really, or anything other that has meaningful life experiences of people from the old age and their suffering will help lift you up, speaking from experience.

3. Ivory carver trilogy - Sue Harrison - Starts off optimistic, gets violently brutal very fast, extremely depressing, punishing and painful over the next 2 books. But like the suggestion for #2 it has a lot of experiences of peoples that survived and thrived in extremely hard and impoverished conditions in prehistoric times. Very detailed world building and lots of life lessons to be found in these books, albeit I've heard from others they're just grimdark shock-factor thrillers at the end. Depends what you get out of them I guess.

Cheers.

1. Reasons to Stay Alive - Matt Haig
2. Secrets for the Mad - Dodie Clark

Both of these books somehow felt like a hug when I was feeling alone, or feeling a lot.

Atomic habits!

This book is everything you need to know about changing your life!
And it's practical.

I very recently read this book, but it really changed my perspective and I enjoyed it a lot. The book's name was Remembering Hope by Parastoo Rezai. It's about meeting adversity and remembering that, though there are dark times, there is also hope. I actually wrote a review about it, so you might want to check it out to see if this is your kind of book. Happy reading!

I typically only read books one time but I have read, highlighted, and notated my copy of "You Are a Badass" by Jen Sincero 5 times. I always learn something new every time I read it. This book will be your little cheerleader. To say it's a life-changer is an understatement.

It's Mark Manson's "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a f*ck". That book really changed my perspective in life. It's also very engaging that you would really feel both you and Mark are just having tea or coffee that you just talk about things in your lives.
