/lit/ - Literature

Post books that have fundamentally changed the way you think and have affected your day-to-day life, pragmatically speaking.

I'll start.

Thinking, Fast and Slow, a book on cognitive biases and behavioral economics), has taught me to assess real-life probabilities more carefully (since our intuition isn't that good) and to reconsider my purchasing habits. It also contains some of the most practical advice on gaining happiness that I have not seen elsewhere.
