Some books can be life-changing. What books have changed your perspective, and why would you recommend them?

There are so many books out there that can prove to be beneficial to you. But it really depends on the individual and their needs. It is a good idea to read as many books about different ideas and beliefs to get a sense of different perspectives. For instance, I was always curious about different religions and their beliefs. I always wondered why they believed in what they did, and how they were so different from each other. I found it fascinating to learn about these in my religion class and the different readings that my teacher recommended. Now, I am not saying that everyone should go on a religious book hunt, but I am stating that it’s a good idea to learn a wide perspective about what interests you.

When I got into trading and investing, I picked up a dozen different trading books about the many experiences different traders had. This allowed me to see a wide perspective of experiences and I was able to take a little from each author. I believe that this is key to learning about a certain subject. All people have different experiences and no one is exactly the same. That is why it is a great idea to read the perspective of many others and put together your own personal ideas that fit you.

I haven’t found that individual book that has created a life changing event, but I have come upon a few books that have changed my attitude towards different subjects and ideas. It never hurts to learn from what others experience.
