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

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

@aleksandra_vovchenko Thank you so so so much. Feel like The Artist's Way is going to do for me what it did for you.
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.

@himanship thank you! Will be adding this to the reading list.

@himanship 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.

@senin This is great. It is also fantastic for getting kids interested in history and mythology. Immersive is exactly the right word.

@senin 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.

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!

@shyam_prasad_reddy would hate to download it for free, being an author myself. But shall definitely pick it up.
