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

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It's a simple book that conveys a powerful idea: the world will help you if you choose to follow your dream. If you ever happen to find yourself feeling that you're not enjoying what you do, I recommend you to read it.

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!

Currently, my favourite non-fiction book is Can't Hurt Me by David Goggings. I've listened to the audiobook just because it has extra bits of dialogue between the narrator and David. It's a fascinating book about grit, perseverance and pain. What I like the most is that David is a real human and lives by his preachings. It's definitely not for everyone but it's a good reminder that whenever you feel like you gave it all, there's a little more that you can give. My favourite quote: “The Buddha famously said that life is suffering. I’m not a Buddhist, but I know what he meant and so do you. To exist in this world, we must contend with humiliation, broken dreams, sadness, and loss. That’s just nature. Each specific life comes with its own personalized portion of pain. It’s coming for you. You can’t stop it. And you know it.”

"Atomic Habits" by James Clear , the biggest learning is how easy it is to start good habits and why not to focus on goal and rather focus on systems instead

Ohhh, a lot of them, but for sure I can recommend these ones: "The Richest Man in Babylon" - how to manage your money, and build wealth. "Trillion-dollar coach" - In leadership, it's all about people. "Elon Musk", "Benjamin Franklin", "Steve Jobs" - great inspiration. a lot of companies like: Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Snapchat, Instagram, Uber also about a product/ company/ marketing: "Insanely Simple", "Blitzscaling", "The Hard Thing About Hard Things", "Remote", "Rework", "Building a story brand" ....

"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

The art of thinking clearly of Rolf Dobelli with 99 examples of cognitive bias. Good for a short commute or on airplane.

The Optimistic Child, by Martin Seligman. This is a vaccine for depression for kids, but as adults, it’s like a handbook for handing situations that can be difficult. Well worth reading. Though, if you are the child of divorce, The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce is the absolute best.

Fiction - Gone with the Wind. I adored Scarlett as a child and she taught me to never give up Non-fiction - Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine. I read it when I had burnout and was close to depression. It's brilliant. Non-fiction The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. This is the book which is accompanying me in my life journey. I think, we're all born to live our life in joy and creativity. This is what the book proves, too

life without limps, I was in a dark place in 2014 when I came across the book and it helped me realize nothing is quite that final in life, if you fail, well tomorrow is still another day.

I am a huge Seth Godin fan. Linchpin changed how I think about my work. Purple Cow changed how I think about product creation. Tribes changed how I market the products I create.

many of them

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky. This is my life-changing desc book. Every re-reading is something new. I advise it instead of the bible

The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho, it changed the perception I had of life.

I've read a lot of books in my life. But the most important book was Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind". It was the main character who gave the impetus to achieve the goals.

I haven't been reading much lately.

Quite a lot of them! Will just name a couple on top of my mind. "Shadows of the mind" by Roger Penrose - shows how it's impossible for a computer (anything that passes the Turing test) to truly understand. Awareness is essential for understanding, and Penrose proves that through mathematical logic. He also explores few theories on consciousness. "The Conquest of Happiness" by Bertrand Russell - few of his thoughts on making a good living. Personally, I think we shouldn't worship, or put on a pedestal a single state of mind (like happiness). However, this book covers quite philosophies on making a balanced life.

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

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I was really attracted by the philosophy described when I first read. I thought a very big part of what was said in the book has perfectly solidified my belief in work and in life.

Ponniyin Selvan by kalki - It is the Tamil historical fiction, It give awesome ancient experience when u read this.
