Question

Everyone has THE one book, which one had a profound effect on you and when?

Answer 1

I've come across to several life-changing books, to pick just one of them is just impossible . I recently finished reading "The Witch of Portobello" by Paulo Coelho. He's amazing :) His books are entertaining and original. Where he tries to decipher the meaning of life, religion etc. He uses simple and direct language to approach readers.

There are a lot of brilliant artists around the world who have written amazing and inspiring books :D showing that creativity has no limit! ;)

Answer 2

Sam Keen: Fire In The Belly; Keen is doing for men what the woman's sufferage movement did for most of you Women...

When did it impact me?  Just about 6 months ago; the book is very comprehensive in it's scope; how each one of us male and female we're influenced in pre-history as well as modern days from the hunter/gatherer stages to postmodern times...and more importantly how to become passionate about your life even amongst the ambigous messages we may or may not receive from our female-counter parts...
