Or Thus Spoke Zarathustra. That one did it for me. Gay science was just a bit more of an in depth version of Zarathustra but Thus Spoke Zarathustra is written in a sort of poetic style that adds to the beauty of the overall message.

I actually owe a lot to this board because I found Zarathustra from an Anon who recommended it in a thread about enlightenment. He simply said "Its about a man who climbs a mountain and gains enlightenment" I read the first page of it and it sold me right away. Couldn't look at life the same way again after that book. He called me on so much of my bullshit but also helped me see things from a better perspective.
