What's the most powerful book you have ever read?
I recently bought the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill at a well-known bookstore for $4.
I absolutely do not understand how this is possible, because I have to say that it is probably the best book I have ever read. And it was only $4, WTF?!
So, what's the most powerful book you have ever read?

Chef, now building apps!
Republic of Shame by Caelainn Hogan, it's about a really dark time in recent Irish history.
Not powerful in the sense of business etc but powerful in the sense of understanding just how much women in Ireland went through because of the state and religion

I'm not into excessive reading but "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos" by Jordan B. Peterson is the most powerful book I've ever read. It has helped me create a better professional and personal vision for life.

'Thinking, Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman (Nobel prize winner). The book is about behavioral economics and explains basic heuristics in judgment and decision-making and cognitive biases that we have with scientific proofs. Reading helps you notice bias you have but didn't used to acknowledge this. So I think this book allows me to make more thoughtful decisions now and notice when I perceive something as a fact but irl it's nothing but a bias. I'd definitely recommend it!
Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and The Alchemist- These are some of the best books ever!

Voltaire's Candide; a timeless piece that keeps me grounded, and reminds me the importance of stuff that genuinely matters to me.
