Recommend me up to 10 books that if I read them will give me an intellectual leg up over most, and a broad grasp of key subjects and themes important to navigating the human experience

It’s a very broad question, but I’m hoping for some, if you like, holy-grail books that will make someone feel instantly more like they have a grip on things, more intelligent, and have a better overview of life if you will. It’s a challenging request, but please do your best
