Black Swan by Nassim Taleb. I like the way he describes concepts.

@john_finch2 Highly recommended. The Black Swan is the famous concept of an unpredictable event that changes the status quo.

Here in Brazil there is a book called COPYWRITING, WORDS THAT SELL MILLIONS by a writer called Guto Ferreira. The Reason: He taught me how to sell on the internet!!

Zorba the Greek, by Nikos Kazantakis. To date it's the only book that has made me literally shed a tear. So moving, descriptive, and exploring the human spirit and soul like no other novel I have ever read. (Yes the film is also good, but it simply cannot compare with Kazantakis' words and prose).

4321 by Paul Auster. It's a 1000-page overview of how different life can be for the same person depending on small distinctions in his environment. Some of his lives were more comfortable, some not, but everywhere he could find something that made him happy. A great lesson to start noticing good things in your own life.

"Zero to One" by Peter Thiel. It's a go-to for many entrepreneurs and startups because of its unique insights on innovation and building successful tech companies.

1984 because it clearly shows one of the things that we should not allow to happen in the world

Homo Deus - Yuval Noah Harari. Sometimes the tonality / his personal beliefs are glaringly obvious but the subject matter and his vision for the future of humanity are insightful.
Moritz Tomasi
One of my all time favourites is "Good to Great". It completely changed my mindset on how to build stuff stuff and approach problems. Then there's "Shoe Dog", which is about Phil Knight, the founder of Nike. It's just a great story about determination, expertise and making something valuable. Same goes for "Delivering Happiness". I know you just asked for one, but it's just too hard to pick!

One book that deeply impacted me is "Becoming" by Michelle Obama. Her candid journey from childhood to the White House is a testament to resilience and growth, inspiring me to embrace my own path with authenticity and determination.

I really enjoyed reading "Cloud Cuckoo Land." I used to enjoy reading nonfiction primary, but now I love reading fiction.

As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning by Laurie Lee. A vivid journey shared by the writer on bare foot, very touching.
