Hello! For a little bit of background, I'm trying to dive deeper into reading as my 2026 goal since I've been lacking a lot in personal growth.
This year I started out with Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle since I've been recommended this book over and over, and even though I'm not a native English speaker, I think my grasp of the language isn't bad by any means; but I still found the book to be rather dense and the style of writing had me going back to the start of the paragraph a lot to make sure I fully understood the text.
With that said, could any of you recommend something easier to start off with? It doesn't have to be a purely philosophical work, but at least give me a book with a lesson worth learning.
I appreciate any suggestion or discussion on the topic. Thanks!

*How to Be Perfect*, by Michael Schur.
The man himself isn’t a philosopher, but the book is some sort of manual/guide on moral dilemmas through the view of multiple philosophers (like Aristotle, Jean-Paul Sartre etc..) and with a healthy dose of humor, which makes it pretty fun to read and easier than “real” philosophy books.
