The Design of Everyday things by Donald Norman. It's the book that made me choose a career in UX Design

Atomic Habits by James Clear.
@5harath I'm on it now :)
Madeleine Lamou
@5harath so many have been raving about it. Is it really that good?

@5harath @madomadeleine Yes. Atomic Habit is a good one! Highly recommended

I don't like books but it changed my life when I came into contact with smart people.
Cristina Bunea
overall, I think it's Man’s Search for Meaning. but more recently, it's one I didn't expect — Until the End of Time from Brian Greene. I've read some of his other books, but for some reason this one stood out. a lot of it also has to do with timing. I was going through some life-changing things at the time, so I guess that played a role. wbu?

@cristinaibunea haven't heard of either of them but Man's Search for Meaning seems really interesting. Mine would probably be The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. Hard to implement a lot of what it talks about but for the most part it was really funny and thought-provoking!

@worldvishawn1 Yea TSAoNGaF is a good one. Although as you said if you will start living 100% like this it will become quite difficult :D

"The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle

@robertasrudys I like that one as well. Did you try sitting on a bench in a park for 4+ hours doing nothing? :)

@riston_thomas 4. How to win friends and influence people - dale carnegie One of my favorites. Simple written and yet so powerful and implementable.

I think Misbehaving was the most interesting book I have ever read. From the premise of Humans are irrational beings, to proving it, makes it so fun. After this book, economics was truly shown as a new pathway of behavioral economics. It makes me feel how many times humans get trapped in their irrational behaviors.

Currently reading "Think Like A Monk" and it's pretty great.
