What are some books that inspired you, changed your opinion on something or thought you a great life lesson?

Question

It can be in any field.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Randy Pausch The Last Lecture - it completely inspired me to dare to dream and that there is a possibility that it would come true if you make it happen.

the Big Fat ***** Book Katie Figes - it made me think about the reason I would want to ***** about someone and how to handle it. In my opinion, I think that this book should be a requirement for every girl to read. It would make life soooooooo much easier. It's made mine more peaceful and I think I understand my friends more then they do themselves.  

Answer 2

If reader's digest can be counted then that would be it. I learned a lot of things in that piece of book. Maybe more that school, all they teach in school is a bunch of things to remember but in reader's digest I can be sure that the facts or fiction that you've read well remain not in your mind but in your heart. It's a truly inspiring book. The life of Dewitt Wallace( Founder of Reader's Digest)  inspired a lot of people. Even his story is inspiring. Imagine he dropped out of college, what did he do? He read and read in the public library. Then he had an idea, that " What if different genres will be stuffed in  one book". Over , reader's digest was created.!!
