Please suggest me that one book that truly and fundamentally transformed you, that led to a drastic and lasting change in your outlook/manners/personality. A book that turned your worldview upside down, sparked an epiphany, made you approach life differently.
I’m open to any genre, fiction, non-fiction, self-help… Anything that had an impact on your self-worth, calmness, optimism, motivation, or the way you interact with the world around you.
Thanks!
Edit: Could you maybe add in just a few words HOW it changed you, noticeably?
