Meditations is great, I think the Stoics should be mandatory reading.
I’ll add another and say letters from a Stoic by Seneca. So many little tidbits of wisdom about many parts of life. You can even download them for free from Tim Ferris’s website.
Letter 53 (pretty sure) from letters from a stoic gets me every time
The Four Hour Work Week
Dare to expand? (:
Mans search for meaning by Viktor Frankl
Covey is one of my favorites. Another major influence for him was Biblical text which blew me away when I heard that. Same with Zig Ziglar which was less surprising, yet they both have significant overlap in their messages. I consider both of them annual reading, and have since 1995 when I first acquired my first copies of their books (7 Habits and Over the Top)
Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse
A1 - Absolutely! I had a similar experience, and it proved formative in my overall philosophy to this day.
Proverbs, James, Ephesians
Rising Star
12 Rules For Life - Jordan Peterson

@BDO you won’t be disappointed! Great book and applicable to real life
Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
The Alchemist
Coelho is sooo overblown. And a satanist. Look it up.

The 48 Laws of Power
Horrible book, really... Anecdotal evidence at best. Better to just read Machiavelli.
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking
When Breath Becomes Air
Great book. Title comes from one of my favorite poems by Greville: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/56367/caelica-83-you-that-seek-what-life-is-in-death
Rich dad poor dad- a must read for anyone who wants to be financially sound and successful
Excellent book. Challenges conventional wisdom around personal finance (which is really lacking in society). My net worth increased significantly after reading it.
12 Smart Things to DoWhen the Booze and Drugs Are Gone: Choosing Emotional Sobriety Through Self-Awareness and Right Action by Allen Berger (great book even if you aren’t in recovery)
How To Break Up With Your Phone.. haven’t read it yet but know it will be game changing lol
As I Lay Dying - Faulkner
Another great Faulkner novel is Light in August, this one really blew me away as well. I think it's relevant to our modern conflicts as well. It's one of my favorites.
10% Happier by Dan Harris
I used the wellbeing subsidy for a year sub to the app... it has been incredible.. guided meditation before bed is a game changer for me. I fall asleep in minutes and never toss anymore
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. It helped my life by putting work into perspective. Reaching all of your goals related to work won’t make you happy. Try to focus on enjoying life now.
There isn’t a close second and I’ve read at least 1/3 of the books mentioned so far.
“Everyone Poops”
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, without hesitation.
