What book(s) has changed your life? - Lemmy.world
lemmy.world
What clicked and made you have a different mindset? How long did it take to start changing and how long was the transformation? Did it last or is it an ongoing back and forth between your old self? I want to know your transformation and success. Any kind of change, big or small. Anything from weight loss, world view, personality shift, major life change, single change like stopped smoking or drinking soda to starting exercising or going back to school. I want to hear how people’s life were a bit or a lot better through reading and your progress. TIA 🙏

Are cross-post allowed? Didn’t realized this community existed and it is more fitting to post a question relating to books here then there.

    Mistborn. Wouldn’t say it changed my life but it really put into words how I feel about religion so I could better communicate it to others. Don’t want to spoil anything for anyone but I personally thought the story wrapped up well.

    Professionally it was Radical Candor by Kim Scott. I was a struggling new manager from an individual contributor role and it really helped me develop a mindset and ability to set expectations but at the same time assist with their growth.
