Which books created the greatest mindshift for you and how?

Non-violent Communication made me realize how much of the talking I was used to doing, was aggressive and judgemental.

Books don't cause mindshift. Repeatition does. So pick a random book and read it and reread it every day. See what happens...

Cosmos, 1980 by Carl Sagan It's an introduction, explanation, and celebration of science. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos_(Sagan_book)

A longtime ago, I read some trading book, sorry cannot remember the title but it was about trading psychology.

The two most important points were:

1. Anything could happen 2. We can only control risk

While these points were related to trading, I slowly started to apply to pretty much everything.

I used to think, like code, I can perfectly control outcome of any serious effort. Now I know in real life, you can do everything perfect but still get unexpected outcome.

It sort of prepare me for unexpected and always think about backup plans.

The bible obviously is the cornerstone of modern western civilization.

But books themselves dont create nothing. People do. Either themselves or typically by influences of other people.
