I recently bought the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill at a well-known bookstore for $4.
I absolutely do not understand how this is possible, because I have to say that it is probably the best book I have ever read. And it was only $4, WTF?!
So, what's the most powerful book you have ever read?

@joanduarte this one is truly great! I liked it as well. However, my favorite book is Hamlet, I don't know why but its just special for me. Moreover, I recently came across this website https://studydriver.com/hamlet/ and found lots of interesting information about my favorite book, and now I like it even more!
Republic of Shame by Caelainn Hogan, it's about a really dark time in recent Irish history.
Not powerful in the sense of business etc but powerful in the sense of understanding just how much women in Ireland went through because of the state and religion
How Innovation Works by Matt Ridley, a biologist and historian who talks about innovative products and their evolution as if they were specimen. It’s fascinating.

@nick_hintze omg I love Ridley's work so much! I read Genome, and as a Biologist it was an absolute delight!

'Thinking, Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman (Nobel prize winner). The book is about behavioral economics and explains basic heuristics in judgment and decision-making and cognitive biases that we have with scientific proofs. Reading helps you notice bias you have but didn't used to acknowledge this. So I think this book allows me to make more thoughtful decisions now and notice when I perceive something as a fact but irl it's nothing but a bias. I'd definitely recommend it!

Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and The Alchemist- These are some of the best books ever!
