Books that changed your life - green314 - 09-02-2020
What are the books you enjoyed reading very much? That has enriched you or change the vision of things that you have?
Let's do a list, also to discover possible new books to read.
I have many of them, the main one is definitely "How to win friends and influence people" of Dale Carnegie (I bet all of you already know it if you don't start reading it now!)
It definitely changed my mindset and my way of dealing with people, helping me.
What about you guys?

I haven't looked, but I'm sure they'll be available free of cost somewhere on the net.

I agree that How to win friends and influence people is a phenomenal book, I read it in my early twenties and it really opened my eyes.
Other books that have had a profound impact on me include:
- Awakening The Giant Within - Anthony Robbins
- Limitless - Jim Kwik (this one just came out recently, and is a damn good read on how to harness your mind to learn more efficiently)
- 48 Laws of Power - Robert Greene
- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey
- Can't Hurt Me - David Goggins (this book changed the way I go about pushing myself in day to day life, can't recommend this one enough, his story is powerful)
Some novels that I really enjoyed and also opened my eyes up include:
- 1984 - George Orwell (I think everyone should read this book)
- The Count of Monte Cristo (my favorite book)
There is definitely more that I'm not remembering at the moment. If I think of any more I'll come back and edit this post.

The book that had the most effect on me when I was younger was definitely Empire of the Ants by Bernard Werber.
I would actually still recommend it to anybody who doesn't know this author

Hearing you talk about these texts makes me want to read every single one of them. Some I want to read since they're famous and I'm curious, others I think I will genuinely be fascinated by.
I barely read nowadays and ought to carve out time for myself to read.
