Existential crisis.

Any recommendations on books that put things into perspective for you? Preferably something short and not pretentious.

Thank you.

Depends for what kind of perspective you are looking for. Personally I'd recommend The Stranger by Camus or TULOB by Kundera for starters.

Read the Stranger, but not really a fan of absurdism.

I'll check out TULOB.

To be honest with you, I don't really know myself. I want to be inspired or take comfort in some truth.

The last one I read was Survivor and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre. Not sure if it'll help but I found it pretty good.

TSZ would be excellent in combatting an Existential Crisis, assuming OP can understand it.
