Book suggestions for a 25-year-old who feels stuck and unsure about life decisions.
I don’t really know what I want career-wise, whether I should travel, or what direction to take in general. On top of that, I’m dealing with chronic pain, which makes me feel even more “stuck.” Any books that helped you during a phase like this?

Maybe try “The Defining Decade” by Meg Jay – it’s specifically about navigating your twenties and helped me figure out some direction when I was feeling lost in my career path.
I think a lot more people feel like that at 25 than they admit, so you’re not alone in it. The Alchemist or Man’s Search for Meaning are both simple but can shift your perspective a bit. I also wrote a memoir called Bolt Ya Nugget that comes from a more real, unpolished place, which might feel relatable if you’re in that kind of phase.
