There two books I constantly consult thought the year.
1. Incerto by Nassim Taleb
2. Pocket Oracle by Baltasar Gracion
1) Is very popular (though not throughly read)
2) Is not known much. But I would say its the most important book todo with "association with humans"
My view of the world changed completely by reading these books.
But I came across them completely by mistake.
Maybe other people have books they feel the same about?
