As the title says, I’m searching for books to read in 20s. What is that book you’ve read/ are reading that you think helped you to get out of the confusional crisis/ aimlessness you went through in 20s?
Edit : suggestions of self help / finance / psychology and anything like that would be appreciated too 🙂

Midnight Library was a recent read that I enjoyed and may add some depth to your current predicament
Today, I finished a book I wish I read when I was in my 20s. I survived capitalism and all I got was this lousy tshirt by Madine pendleton.
Thinking Indigenous and braiding sweet grass are also books I wish I had when I was in my 20s.
Becky Chambers’ monk and robot novellas are pretty good
The Stranger by Camus
A Tree Grow in Brooklyn should be read in late teens/early twenties.
The Fountainhead taught me a lot, but not the conservative ideology associated with Ayn Rand. It helped me appreciate structural integrity and is a wonderful book.
I read The Circle (Eggers) and A Brave New World (Huxley) back to back 5+ years ago and that gave me clarity on the digital sh*t show we are living in now.
Finance: The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke by Suze Orman.
*Your Money Or Your Life*, by Vicki Robin — completely changed how i look at money and how i perceive work and time
*Walden*, by Thoreau
*Think and Grow Rich*, by Hill — a bit dated, but also not dated at all
*Wild*, by Cheryl Strayed — read in my 40s; wish I’d read it in my 20s; don’t watch the movie
