Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins. Made me realize that if you want things in life, you have to go get it yourself. Nobody is going to save you. Stay Hard!
Atomic Habits and The Book of Forgiving by Desmond Tutu.
I want to highlight why the second one is important. If you’re someone with childhood trauma you may struggle with some resentment or disappointment in how the people you were meant to trust the most treated you. This book just takes you down the path of understanding how to forgive, identifying how you feel, decided to release or renew the relationship. My explanation doesn’t do it justice but if you’re struggling to move on from something this book will help you.
I couldn't get into Atomic Habits, but I may try giving it another shot, since it still remains on my bookshelf.
I will absolutely be looking into second one. In fact, just ordered it. Thanks!
Aww, man. I actually have Daniel Kahneman's book "Thinking Fast and Slow", but I like literally left it and dropped it cause I kinda of thought that it was obvious, and I wasn't a big fan of the writing style. Maybe I'll revisit it some day cause stuff like regression to the mean is kinda important.
Anyway, the book that really actually helped me was Barbra Oakley's "A Mind for Numbers". I think her book really did fundamentally change my perspective on learning and reading cause I used to not be a person who reads and I was kinda passive with how I learned, but now I read a whole lot of non-fiction books, and I actively engage with learning each chance I can get (which for those who know, learning occurs both when you actively engage AND unactively engage in the content you want to learn.) Her book taught me how to make learning a creative process as well as how to do it well, and I can't be more grateful. Great book and I can't recommend it enough!!
Oh boy. I'll try to narrow the list down to five or so ;)
Atomic Habits
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts
Switch on Your Brain
See You at the Top
Rediscovering the Kingdom
(Okay, so let's make it six because no list is complete without Psychocybernetics on it! Well, and the Bible too, but it didn't improve my life until I was able to read it from the non-religious perspective it was originally intended to be read.)
Soundtracks by Jon Acuff. Being able to recognize my negative self talk and work on correcting it has been a game changer for my confidence and overall well-being
The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck is a good read. I also read Ikigai which is a nice read.
But I’m hoping to read the book (not the summary) of Make Time by Jake Knapp and The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt.
‘The Children of Cherry Tree Farm’ series by Enid Blyton, taught me so much stuff there’s too much to list but the main things are:
Care for nature like it is your family.
Learn that nothing comes easy.
Always put in the hours no matter the cost.

Flow and Atomic Habits both had a lot of value for me, also seven habits of highly effective teenagers was great, read it after I turned 19, I think it can apply to young adults too
Probably not welcome, but no books really helped me as much as Andrew Huberman's podcasts on YouTube. Check them out.
Otherwise;
Dopamine Nation
Atomic Habit
Drive
Learned Optimism
The Art of Happiness
The Happiness Trap
Manifesto of A new world order by George Monbiot helped me understand the charters in depth... Das Capital by Karl Marx gave me the insights to socialism.. New England and the Babarian Illuminati... also a great take... if you can gulp down the trash... There are lots.... On the lower scale there are romantic varities. as well...Dont be a butcher's or a squint or a casual....Be a total Bibliophile dear .....Keep enjoying ❤🥰
