Hey everyone,
I’m looking for books I can read during travel or late at night , the kind that quietly mess with your head and make you question your own thinking.
I don’t enjoy slow, descriptive stories or generic self-help. I want books that are mentally engaging, thought-provoking, and a bit intense.
I’m especially interested in books that:
1.Make me question how I think.
2.Explore psychology, decision-making, and human behavior.
3.Change how I see people and the world,
Feels insightful, not motivational stuff.
4.Are easy to pick up and read in short sessions (travel-friendly).
5.Non-fiction is preferred, but I’m open to fiction if it’s deep and philosophical.

dude check out “thinking, fast and slow” by kahneman – it’ll absolutely wreck how you think you make decisions and it’s perfect for those late night “wait what” moments. for fiction that hits different, try “the stranger” by camus, short enough to knock out in a couple travel sessions but will leave you questioning everything about how people justify their actions.
also maybe look into “influence” by cialdini if you want to see how easily your brain gets manipulated without you even knowing it. these aren’t feel-good reads but they’ll definitely mess with your head in the best way.
