I think it’s one of the most important books that’s published in recent years. It’s a summary of his most important findings ever since he started as a cognitive psychologist in 1961. You will change the way you think after reading Kahneman’s book. Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman This is the most practical book I’ve read on decision making. This book is an excellent collection of 99 thinking errors - from cognitive biases to social distortions. How many of those decisions are rational? If you ask Dobelli, very little. The Art Of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli I haven’t stopped thinking, reflecting, and living more consciously ever since. And since Thoreau isn’t recommended reading in school in The Netherlands, I decided to pick it up by myself (and the Jon Krakauer book too). The movie (released in 2007) was based on a Jon Krakauer book with the same title about Christopher McCandless, a young and naïve idealist who wanted to live a simple life. I remember how I discovered his writings - through the movie Into The Wild.
Thoreau started my ‘thinking about life’ journey ten years ago. His philosophy and perspective on life should be cherished and passed on forever. And Victor Frankl’s account of his experience in concentration camps is almost superhuman. We forget that it was only a few decades ago. What happened to millions of Jews 70 years ago, is truly horrific. I still think about this book almost daily, years after I first read it.
Man’s Search For Meaning by Victor Frankl To me, expanding your mind means that a book had an impact on the way I look at the world.Īnd after serious thought, I came up with the following 22 life-changing books that caused a real shift in the way I think. Because not every book has the same impact.
So when I recently stumbled upon a question on Quora that went like this: “What are some books that expand our mind?” I started thinking about the books that had such an impact on me. “Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.” But not every book changes the way you think. Reading is my favorite way to develop my mind because it’s the most effective way to learn something. It’s one of the habits that has truly changed my life. For the past few years, I’ve formed a habit of asking everyone for life-changing book recommendations.
