I genuinely feel like this book changed my life. I tried therapy but after every session I would leave feeling worse because it forced me to relive painful memories from my childhood. This book, on the other hand, completely changed the way I see life. It doesn't have to be on the same topic. I'm just looking for books that have the potential to change your perspective.

>>25399201It all depends on how much effort you want to put into it. If you want immediate yet superficial results, then As a Man Thinketh can be read in one sitting and you can glean some good from it. If you are looking at easily digestible but a long term understanding of yourself, then Meditations by Aurelius (read a small amount every day and then spend some introspection time on what you read). If you want the best results that help you understand the world as well as yourself, then Nietzche. But Nietzche would take years of reading his books, sometimes three or four times, and a lot of introspection. Maybe even start a journal on the ideas presented in his books and your personal thoughts on those ideas.

The Lord of the Rings. Something about all those descriptions of nature and landscape, and the hobbits' wholesome lifestyle, and the songs, and the commitment to doing the right thing, and the earnestness of it all. All these things combine into something that's more than the sum of its parts, and it paints a kind of idealized world that seems genuinely aspirational, but on a personal level. Like I could create and live in this ideal world myself if I just act and behave like these characters.That's how it felt for me, anyway.
