I recently read 'The Almanack of Naval Ravikant' by Eric Jorgenson. It was simply superb. It is available for free somewhere! I consider Naval as the modern-age Gautama Buddha!

I will go ahead and name two: “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini and “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom. Both have a story of love and loss which connects with the real life at so many levels.

Ponniyin Selvan by kalki - It is the Tamil historical fiction, It give awesome ancient experience when u read this.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It's a simple book that conveys a powerful idea: the world will help you if you choose to follow your dream. If you ever happen to find yourself feeling that you're not enjoying what you do, I recommend you to read it.

This is going to be weird but the Percy Jackson series. It was the first series that got me hooked to reading. Every time I've been in a reading block, I pick up a Rick Riordan book because his writing is so immersive that it pulls me out of it.

Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer. Read it when I was 13 or 14? The fiction was mind-blowing. The story was so masterfully told that I felt the struggles, ego and the victories that the characters experienced. Stuck with me ever since!

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I was really attracted by the philosophy described when I first read. I thought a very big part of what was said in the book has perfectly solidified my belief in work and in life.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra- Haven't completed it, but, it's beautiful in it's hope and hopelessness. Possessing the Secret of Joy- the story, the constant inner dialog, and what comes out - so real, painful, and moving.

"Atomic Habits" by James Clear , the biggest learning is how easy it is to start good habits and why not to focus on goal and rather focus on systems instead

The Challenge for Africa by Wangari Maathai. I always borrow from her courage to do what she feels is right.

Fiction - Gone with the Wind. I adored Scarlett as a child and she taught me to never give up Non-fiction - Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine. I read it when I had burnout and was close to depression. It's brilliant. Non-fiction The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. This is the book which is accompanying me in my life journey. I think, we're all born to live our life in joy and creativity. This is what the book proves, too

For me it is Leadership wisdom by Robin Sharma. I see myself as someone who wants to impact people's life by my thoughts, words and actions. Reading this book has given me direction to understand the same.

"L'île mystérieuse" - Jules Verne which made me want to become engineer and which led me to a lot of things I'm doing nowadays

Ikigai - understanding the secret to long life Anti Fragile - how to take criticism and improve ourselves "Wind extinguishes a candle and energizes a fire"

life without limps, I was in a dark place in 2014 when I came across the book and it helped me realize nothing is quite that final in life, if you fail, well tomorrow is still another day.

Quite a lot of them! Will just name a couple on top of my mind. "Shadows of the mind" by Roger Penrose - shows how it's impossible for a computer (anything that passes the Turing test) to truly understand. Awareness is essential for understanding, and Penrose proves that through mathematical logic. He also explores few theories on consciousness. "The Conquest of Happiness" by Bertrand Russell - few of his thoughts on making a good living. Personally, I think we shouldn't worship, or put on a pedestal a single state of mind (like happiness). However, this book covers quite philosophies on making a balanced life.

The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, both by Khaled Hosseini. The Kite Runner helped me reason my belief of trust and companionship. How being brave enough to trust others impacts you and also how your relationship with the most important people change based on trust alone. A Thousand Splendid Suns was an eye opener. This book helped me understand how important it was for women to support women and how that shapes you as a person.

Ohhh, a lot of them, but for sure I can recommend these ones: "The Richest Man in Babylon" - how to manage your money, and build wealth. "Trillion-dollar coach" - In leadership, it's all about people. "Elon Musk", "Benjamin Franklin", "Steve Jobs" - great inspiration. a lot of companies like: Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Snapchat, Instagram, Uber also about a product/ company/ marketing: "Insanely Simple", "Blitzscaling", "The Hard Thing About Hard Things", "Remote", "Rework", "Building a story brand" ....

I am a huge Seth Godin fan. Linchpin changed how I think about my work. Purple Cow changed how I think about product creation. Tribes changed how I market the products I create.

The art of thinking clearly of Rolf Dobelli with 99 examples of cognitive bias. Good for a short commute or on airplane.
