What are the books that permanently warped your mind? Book’s that made you a different person?
For me…
1. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
2. 1984
3. The Sovereign Individual
4. Honoring the Self
5. How to Win Friends and Influence People
6. Lost Connections
7. When the Body Says No
8. What My Bones Know
9. How to Know a Person
10. Come as You Are

that one didn't do it for me. But it's been very impactful for a lot of people.

I’ve read so many technical books that have given me a lot of knowledge, but knowledge isn’t hard to come by these days, it’s perspective and an understanding of the human experience that makes you a better person that’s better able to use that knowledge. And that’s why the books on humanity and perspective are the ones I tend to think about the most.
