What are some awesome fiction books that teach good lessons?
Maybe especially for those in their 20s, lost on their path or purpose. But if not, any fiction with some good lessons.
*Siddhartha* by Hermann Hesse was THE book that laid the framework for a lot of positive changes in my mental health, and motivation to do better for myself when I was in my early 20s.
There were others I enjoyed later on, but this one got it all started.

Shared joy increase”.

Doesn’t perfectly fit but the collection of short stories Someone Who Will Love You In All Your Damaged Glory
Written by the same guy who writes Bojack Horseman. Funny and surprising. I read this when I felt really lost, and idk it was just a great read.
