That book is one I revisit every few years. When I first read it, in my 20s, so much of it went over my head.

Howards End by E.M. Forster really made me think about privilege and hypocrisy and I really haven't been the same since.

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

Read it based on a recommendation for it I saw on Twitter, turns out it was my life story and totally changed and helped resolve a bunch of stuff from my childhood I had been struggling with for decades. Sometimes simply understanding something is enough.

I read White Fragility on a saturday morning and stared into space thinking the entire weekend. Life changing.

The Untethered Soul

Being Mortal. It changed how I think we should deal with people who are nearing the end of our lives. It changed how I wrote my advance directive.

Braiding Sweetgrass - it taught me so much, but it also put words to feelings I’ve had all my life that I couldn’t quite grasp. Just a phenomenal book that I know I’ll come back to over and over.

I agree with Man’s Search for Meaning as well. I think about that book all the time.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

NeuroTribes. I have an autistic child and it helped put autism in the bigger picture. Such a great book.

Nurture Shock. It put into words all my gut instincts and explained why I'd felt these ways but didn't know why.

The dictionary.

For me it was Rian Malan's My Traitor's Heart, he's a white South African journalist and in this non-fiction /memoir hybrid, he examines his own prejudices while also exploring horrific events in South Africa. For me it was really revelatory.
