Which are the books that changed your mindset? Why?

by•
Hey there! Hope you are having a great and productive work week :) A personal question here (and why not a book recommendation thread): Which are the books that changed your mindset / broadened your perspective and why? As for me, I couldn't choose only one (because I believe every book I read gave me a small mindset change). However, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks changed the way I think about race, gender, ethics, and the scientific and medical system. Feel free to share as many books as you'd like and on any topic!

Good Luck: Create the Conditions for Success in Life and Business (original title in Spanish: La Buena Suerte) It shifted my perspective on luck, fate and, more broadly, how our actions shape future opportunities.

The Almanak of Naval, This book changed my perspective on how I viewed wealth and making money. Also, I got a lot of insight into how to grow an online audience to date I occasionally go back to it, and every time I read it I get new lessons.

My favorites: - Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman - 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari Some points in Start with Why by Simon Sinek made a lot of sense to me, but I couldn't deal with the same thoughts being communicated in different ways. Wouldn't recommend it to impatient readers 😀 I also loved books like Losing my Virginity by Richard Branson and American Kingpin because they are unconventional and yet true stories.

@elena_obolonskaia Hi Elena! Haven't read 21st lessons for the 21st century but I'm looking forward to it. Thanks a lot for sharing :)

The Art of The Good Life: Has a lot of good tidbits in there! Some of which made me think 'Oh yeah! I've never seen (insert situation) like that before' Also really enjoyed the Almanac Of Naval Ravikant - As again he has a way of distilling insights into ways I've never thought of before.
