THE BEST 9 LIFE CHANGING BOOKS TILL DATE | COVERING EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE

It has been said that the books you read and the people you associate yourself with today determine the person you will be in five years.

If you wish to live an awesome life in the future – a life well beyond the one you have now – you must programme it now, you must contribute to studying, developing, and changing your current outlook – expanding your consciousness into something greater.

"I believe that when you read a good book, something magical will happen." J.K. Rowling said some wise words, and I couldn't believe more. Books provide a safe haven for us to avoid the rough edges of our lives—but every now and then, you come across a book that follows you into the real world. A book that forces you to think about yourself and changes your outlook. They're difficult to find, but once found, they're impossible to forget.

I've compiled a list of some of the all-time literary best-sellers that have influenced millions of people.

1. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

If you try to highlight every line in The Alchemist that is a quotation to live by (like I did), you'll end up with half the book lighted up in colour. The plot follows an Andalusian shepherd kid on a mission to fulfil a prophecy that says he would discover gold and wealth at the Egyptian Pyramids. But it's the lessons Santiago learns along the way that will linger with you long after you've finished the novel. You'll be inspired as he finds his "destiny" and perseveres in the face of fear and uncertainty.

2. A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

This book takes readers on a voyage into the universe's depths, from the Big Bang to black holes, string theory in physics, and the forces at work in the cosmos. As the title indicates, Stephen Hawking, a scientist and theoretical physicist, attempts to solve several outstanding issues about time and space in this book. While it is a vast subject, the book will pique the interest of curious readers and make you smarter about the cosmos!

3. Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

In Rich Dad, Poor Dad, author Robert T. Kiyosaki compares and contrasts the financial lessons he acquired from his own father (his "poor dad") with those he learned from his best friend's father (his "rich dad"). The story demonstrates how both of his "fathers" influenced his attitude toward money and investment.

The book's core tenet is that you don't have to make a lot of money to be wealthy. Rich individuals, on the other hand, make money work for them by understanding how to use financial tools like enterprises, investments, and tax breaks to expand their fortune.

4. The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins

According to the book's blurb, The 5 Second Rule will teach you how to become more confident, break the habit of procrastination and self-doubt, overcome fear and uncertainty, and be happier.

As difficult as that may sound, Robbins more than delivers in this enormously successful self-help book based on the titular 5-second rule: the five seconds you should take every time you need to push yourself.

5. The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama

The Art of Happiness emphasises compassion for others as the road to personal fulfilment, which is appropriate considering, that it is the work of a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

The Dalai Lama collaborates on the vast subject of happiness with psychiatrist Howard C. Cutler, so expect scientific as well as spiritual insights.

Finally, the core lesson of this book is both humbling and tremendously motivating: real pleasure is not a momentary sensation, but art that demands practise.

6. Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

Sapiens will tell you all about the great grandmother we shared with chimps, how our brain and body developed, the power of stories in uniting sapiens, how we wiped out all other animals, why we eat wheat, the agricultural and industrial revolutions, and capitalism in its most raw form, marital rape laws, why our religion and cultural values are hypocritical, humanity's biggest frauds, the Holocaust, and more.

The tale of Sapiens is the narrative of everything. Read this one to find out what has been going on since 14 billion years ago, also known as Day Zero.

7. Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert is no stranger to the art of motivation; she is arguably best known for her book Eat, Pray, Love, and inspiring a generation to travel. But you don't have to leave your house to access Big Magic, which is all about bringing out your inner creativity whenever you need it.

This is a love letter to the artist within you, written in Gilbert's conversational, no-nonsense manner. Big Magic will assist you in achieving your goals, whether they be to write a book, paint a painting, or compose music. It is a celebration of art on every level: funny, honest, informative, and uplifting.

8. The Journey is the Destination by Dan Eldon

Dan Eldon, one of Reuters's youngest photojournalists, was stoned to death in Somalia while on duty. Eldon was only 22 years old when he died, but he had accomplished more in those years than most people do in a lifetime: he travelled to 46 countries, spearheaded several humanitarian fundraising campaigns in Africa, and worked as a war photographer in war zones around the world for newspapers and magazines.

The essays he left behind in The Journey is the Destination are haunting and tragic, but they are also inspiring to read, providing us with a brief, magnificent insight into a well-lived life.

9. Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

I've been looking for the meaning of life. Why are we here, what is space, why do we exist on this planet, and why do we do the same things every day?

When I finished this book, I felt certain that people do not have a magnificent cause to live or continue despite pain. Because he spent several years in the Auschwitz concentration camp, the author was intimately acquainted with misery. His wife passed away in the women's camp. Victor's father, mother, and brother were also apprehended and murdered. He had everything taken from him. But he never gave up hope.

You improve yourself through expanding your intellect and learning new things. It allows you to build your own viewpoint and vision.

This list includes books that have impacted my life and led me to see the world in new ways. It supplied me with several other viewpoints. The idea is not to live someone else's life. You must find a manner of life and job that only you can perform meaningfully.

The ideas in these books enabled me to view myself and the world as they are. The stories taught me concepts and foundations, as well as how to ask better questions. Aside from that, it made me a more informed, confident, open-minded, and intriguing individual.

The most interesting thing in the world is seeking information and comprehending things you never understood before.

The more you read, the more enlightened you become.
