You have been appointed as the DECIDER and you must choose one single book that everyone on earth has to read during their 19th year, when they turn 18.

What is the book?

This. If everyone was forced to read this, there'd be less psychological bullshit and bullshit behaviour around.

And guys, remember, OP said "book", that means nonfiction is allowed.

The best use of this is to compile your own little red book and make the whole world read it, as the first step in becoming the President of Earth for Life.

Collected political writings, which probably means a lot of 4chan posts

Yeah, this'll work well.

>>4783275

Yes.

During your second year, when you turn 1, because your first year is from 0 to 1 in terms of age. Your 19th year is from 18 to 19, so it starts when you're 18, major, in most countries.

Any questions?

TIMELINE

0------->1-------->2------>3

You're born aged 0, in your first year, you're 0. In your second year, you're 1, in your 19th year, you're 18.

The 20th century was the 1900's, not 2000's.
