- The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom by Jonathan Haidt
This book is the combination of two genres-philosophical wisdom and scientific research-delighting the reader with surprising insights. It provides deep insight into the some most important questions in life — why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation. In a stunning final chapter, Haidt addresses the grand question “How can I live a meaningful life?,” offering an original answer that draws on the rich inspiration of both philosophy and science.

4. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Think And Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill, is one of the most famous self-help books. It has been a great source of inspiration for people looking for success in any walk of life. The book‘s philosophy centers around the idea that success, in any endeavor, can be reached through mental visualization and imagination. To put it in simple terms, you can become anything that your mind deems possible; as a result, your mind becomes the one thing that can either stop you or propel you toward becoming the best version of yourself.
5. Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know by Malcolm Gladwell.
Understanding other people is one of the most vital elements of being human and living in a shared community — and yet it’s also one of the hardest things. More often than not, we make assumptions, jump to conclusions, and fill in the blanks with whatever answer we’d like to see, rather than what’s necessarily there.
In this book, Gladwell attempts to shed light onto exactly what sort of things lead to these disasters — and what kind of lessons we can take away from them in our own lives. It’s a fascinating examination of what we see in strangers that may just have you seeing yourself in a new light while you’re at it.
