I believe in this actually.. these "read 1 book in a week" , "read 1 book in a day"...books aren't just about reading its about understanding.. I feel tht for every book..like after every book i finish i give myself time to enjoy the book contemplate on the thoughts... its like a pleasure.... I try to live with it for as long as I can... (idk it might sound a lil weird ,lol)... I feel thts how you learn and do justice to the book... especially for good books (books which move you)... books i feel are like piece of art... I try to appreciate it and cheerish it as much as I can...

Herman Hesse is a really challenging reading. People get to him and cannot get out of him, so to say. He mixed in such a good fashion the western philosophy with the oriental wisdom. Steppenwolf is seen by many people as the miserable life of the main character and they feel sorry for him. I couldn’t feel more inspired. If you read other things from Hesse I strongly recommend “Das Glasperlenspiel”. No idea how they translated that into English, but is is life changing as well.

It's amazing how en entire world is enclosed inside a bunch of pages that looks so plain and simple. Shows you the power of imagination that our mind gets to exercise when we read. An entire universe is created inside of our head. You don't get to do that as much when you're watching something as it is doing the "imagination" part for you and not letting the mind truly tap into its own imagination, pondering, and reflection.

Quiet by Susan Cain is definitely my recent favorite, one part in particular had such an impact on my approach to doing things that I am not comfortable with was the "Free Trait Agreement" which talks about research done by Prof Brian Little and it showed that even as an introvert, if there is something that you are really passionate about or it means a lot to you, it is possible to exert an extroverted element as long as you maintain a balance where you have moments in solitude shortly afterwards.

Also, I would recommend reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. It always puts me in a good mood to remember how easy it is to build and keep amazing relationships. This book is a constant reminder of this and offers a pretty successful way to navigate life with the least resistance to other people. Even if you're an introvert, you should read it. The few friendships you might set out to seek & build will have a strong foundation if you follow the simple and logical steps in the book. Have a good read and thanks for sharing your pics, Lana!

just like a book, people tend to judge other people by their "cover", the first impression. But that might not be the actual reality. Some seemingly plain and boring books can be the ones that can transform your life. Same as with people, especially INTROVERTS. I've found many introverted people to be one of the most genuine and kindest people ever. The more you get to know them the more you realize how genuine they are.

You are able to enter deeply into spirit of the books you shared about Lana. I read Siddhartha when I was in school and it had a profound effect on me. I even carried it around for several weeks. Other people just talk about the books they've read but you seemed to have made close friends with the 7 books that changed your life! Thank you for this wonderful sharing!

Marcus Aurelius`s Meditations changed me, it really got me into Stoicism and like you say i keep it on my desk and still read parts of it from time to time. With the country shutting down due to the outbreak am probably going to need more to read and will defiantly look up some of these books, also started to take up another langue this year also so going to have more time for that to.

Someone already mentioned Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people". If there is one self development book to read that's the one. "How to stop worrying and start living" is also worth a read. I also highly recommend "The art of worldly wisdom" by Balthasar Gracian. Though written over 300 years ago by a Spanish writer, Gracian's advice is as astonishingly appropriate today as it was in 17th century Spain. One of his maxims "The most important rule for living lies in knowing how to bear all things" is so relevant at a time when the world is being hit hard by the pandemic...and if you are an introvert like so many of us, then this second maxim is for you: "Reserve has always been a great rule for living and winning".

I remember the late 90s and 2000s. No cellphone, internet only occasionally when the connection was good for the computer, spent most of my free time reading books! I had a huge library too, read many classics during that era, also wrote 2 books. There were novels that stopped me from mistakes made by peers while I was in highschool, books that kept me enamored in a victorian fantasy. War and Peace, Anna Karenina, Pride and Prejudice... books read and reread.

1. the perks of being a wallflower - not only did this book allow me to find solace in and connect with a protagonist who had experienced similar traumas to me, but it just discusses love so brilliantly. I mean, the phrase “we accept the love we think we deserve” truly sums up the message, but the book as a whole is full of so much more. 2. the Harry Potter book series - It was my childhood and it taught so much about good and evil and love, once again. It is still one of my favourite things (I’m a superfan haha) 3. Let Go My Hand - a much better picture of euthanasia and how it affects those around you than Me Before You. A story of father and son(s) and how we can’t all be perfect, but we also can’t all be terrible. 4. The God Of Small Things - not only did it teach me about Indian culture but it was just a portrait of how separation and trauma can affect children and how as adults there are still parts of us that feel like our child-like selves, and how there are certain things worth fighting for. 5. Under The Visible Life - taught me about two different cultures and about how found family is important, but true family is forever. (Most of these books comment on love and relationships and this one does it very well!) 6. The Picture Of Dorian Gray - a portrait (no pun intended) of vanity and how greed and envy as well as vanity itself can steal away someone’s innocence. 7. the catcher in the rye - we’re all imperfect, but life and earth is cyclical and won’t stop just because we might. I have loads more but limited myself to 7 haha ♥️

*Here’s my book recommendations:* *I am 15 years old so I probably have a different “book palette” than a lot of y’all* - 1984 by George Orwell -The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak (cry) - Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - Hamlet (you can take so much from this story and it’s different every single timee) -The Hate U Give by Thomas (this is a good book for anyone because it talks about current social justice issues in the black/poc community)
