I have been in a bad place in life for almost 2 years now. I am 27. I am working on becoming better. Would like to have some suggestions on books that genuinely helped you find purpose in life?

I’m looking for meaningful book recommendations that explore purpose,direction or figuring out what to do with life.

Not overly preachy/self-help fluff/hustle culture stuff—something thoughtful maybe philosophical or story-driven that actually made you reflect or shift perspective.

Would love to hear what truly stayed with you.
