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!

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.

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.

Well, I just started Jorden Peterson's 12 rules of Life and I love it. He is one of the people, who can be extremely honest but it just feels right.
