This sounds silly given the nonfiction recommendations here, but Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It’s about a woman who makes a seemingly inconsequential decision and her life splits off into two very different scenarios (alternating chapters) based on what she does in that moment.
I think of it as philosophy disguised as contemporary fiction. I happened to read it several years ago before I made a big life decision that I was 50/50 on, and it gave me some peace. |

| Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child by Gottman and Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn. Unpacking my childhood raised by distant, authoritarian parents and realizing I could be different was incredibly freeing. |

The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck.
First sentence: "Life is difficult." Such a simple truth that's not fully realized often until it's too late. |
