The five books I’ve chosen have made me a better person, by either changing my perspective or helping me deal with the inevitable bumps in the road of life.
1
If there is anyone worth taking life advice from it's Marcus Aurelius. At the time, the most powerful person in the world, giving the most practical advice on how to live a good life. I read this book several times a year.
2
In vivid detail this book portrays the horror of slavery. Once I read this book my whole outlook on life changed. It helped me to be thankful for what I have and realise how lucky I am.
3
I don't read a lot of poetry but this is a beautiful collection of poems that have inspired me and consoled me.
4
Part exploration of consciousness and part diary of silent retreats. I love this book and helped me explore consciousness in an accessible way.
5
Simple, clear and short yet fundamentally changed my view of Free Will and how I view the world.
