Don't trust book recommendations. Mine included.

The same book teaches two people completely different things. And a second read can feel like a totally different book. You are not the first person you were the first time around.

We learn from books as we are, not as they are.

And when you come to a book hungry for answers to your life's questions, your brain goes foraging in the words. It doesn't matter much which book, it matters that you are looking.

I firmly believe if you have a problem, you can take a good book, read a random page with intention, and you'll be closer to your solution.

So when non-readers ask me what to read, my answer is just read what sounds interesting to you. Your insights are in the act of reading rather than in the text.
