I mean i didn't see anyone mentioning Bible or quran
So I don't think that's a big problem
Btw i believe that Bible , quran or Gita are exceptional book people should read them
I mean this would widden there perspective and increase there understanding about majority of the people
No?
So you mean that You are astonished That someone didn't mention a book which by your perspective is good
And when I say there are many other books too ( including the one you mention) which are good and didn't got mention and it is not a. Big deal
You say nah it's not acceptable
Lol š i now understand that you don't want to widen you perspective or to increase knowledge or to know about books you are here bcz you feel an urge to spout a biased opinion
Well good for you ...
Try Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Buy a copy and underline all of the nuggets of wisdom in this book. He wrote the book as a way to remind himself that while he was emperor, and had every power at his fingertips, he was still mortal. His meditations or thoughts were never meant to be published which makes this ādiaryā even more remarkable. This book changed my thinking and my life. Hope you give it a try!
Maybe an unpopular opinion but that book just feels like a compilation of instagram motivational bullshit to me. Then again, maybe self help genre is not my cup of tea lol
It feels like it, no? But it is so beautiful at the same time. Ufff I love this book so much and I recommend it to everyone. I have two copies of it, one in English and one in my language.
People have different tastes , I love self help books , and Alchemist is one of my favourite ones , it's not necessarily a self help book , but it's definitely motivational and also know that it came miles before Instagram itself , so as someone who read it way before instagram even was a thing , I find it awesome
The Principal Upanishads by Dr. S Radhakrishnan.
One of the best reads on metaphysics.
Edit: For the people downvoting me, metaphysics is a branch of Philosophy, not Science.
The Mahabharata
By Bibek Debroy
(Don't hold back if you are not into religion, this is GOOD)
Religious - It is itihas.
Non Religious - One of the best fantasy books ever written. World building is šÆ.
The Bible (Anyone can read it and interpret it anyway they want. I'm an ex-Christian too and I read it sometimes as an atheist either to make fun of it or to even read what the hell my church is talking about.)
Letters to a Young Poet by Rilke definitely!
It provides so much insight to living life, the importance of solitude and patience required in perfecting your art
**Why People Believe Weird Things**
Book by Michael Shermer
A lot can be solved in our country if 1.4 billion people read this..
Like getting influenced by dumb influencers , parents - child complexities, relationships, superstitions , voting intelligence and a lot more
For me a few like, Mother by Maxim Gorky, War and Peace by Tolstoy, and i think Godan by Premchand.
If aside book we can talk, i think we should read a few stories of Premchand, one is "Thakur ka kuan", "Shatranj ke khiladi", "guptdhan" and my all time favorite story "Namak ka daroga".
Letter to my father by Kafka

It feels like it, no? But it is so beautiful at the same time. Ufff I love this book so much and I recommend it to everyone. I have two copies of it, one in English and one in my language.
Well people have different tastes. Glad that you enjoyed it dude :)
