Okay, so I’ve read tons of fiction, but non-fiction? Not really my thing—yet. I wanna change that, so drop a solid book on human nature, something tt’ll make me go, “Oh, so this is why people are the way they are.” Also, I need a book that will absolutely wreck me emotionally, like leave me staring at the wall rethinking my entire existence. And while we're at it, recommend a classic that everyone needs to read, like the kind of book that makes you 10x smarter just by having it on your shelf.
So basically recommend me
• A book on human nature
• A book that will give me an existential crisis.
• A classic book
Edit: guys give me 3 book recs.like a book on each

*The Second Sex* by Simone de Beauvoir or *The Origins of Totalitarianism* by Hannah Arendt will probably fulfil all three criteria at once!
No Longer Human, definitely covers the depths of one’s existence.
It’s pretty deep and at the end it really makes you think about everything
Mark Lanegan’s memoir Sing Backwards and Weep really fucked me up (in a mostly good way). I’d recommend the audiobook version, which he narrates.
>drop a solid book on human nature, something that’ll make me go, “Oh, so this is why people are the way they are.”
*The Social Animal* by Elliot Aronson is probably exactly what you’re looking for in this criteria.
– Sapiens- a history of humankind – non-fiction rec
– The Road – wrecks everyone emotionally
– 1984 – the classic
– Thinking Fast and Slow – 10x smarter by having it on a your shelf (and most people won’t have actually read it)
