I’ve read over 1,000 nonfiction books in my life, and these 33 are the most powerful of them all. I can honestly say they changed my life, who’s to say they won’t change yours too?

Don’t just take my word for it though. Read on for my summary of all 33 books and see for yourself how your next read might just change your life.

These kinds of lists always make me laugh, because it takes a very specific world view and experience and assumes all must be like that. Atomic Habit I do agree partially on, but you know two books that have recently changed my life? Certainly not on the list here.

4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman and The Little Book of Listening by Donna Duffey et. Al.

As someone who feels outside the domimate traits of society, Sensitive: The Hidden Power and The Power of Quiet are also books that changed my life in that I am embracing my own traits and talents, rather than struggle to adopt those more commonly sought after.

Four Thousand Weeks is excellent.

MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING BY VIKTOR E. FRANKL

This was pretty good, albeit as depressing as you think it’d be. If I could add a book here it’s “The Molecule of More” by Daniel Z. Lieberman, MD.

If you’ve ever wondered about drug addiction, relationships/honeymoon phase, mental illness or why you act the way you do instinctively, this is the book.
