Today I will bring you 5 of the books that helped me evolve and that will probably help you too. This top is only my personal opinion, and I would be delighted to hear your Top 5.


1. "The art of thinking clearly" by Ralph Dobelli

Ralph Dobelli's bestseller, "The art of thinking clearly" is an eye-opening look at human psychology and reasoning. It is perfect for those who want to make better decisions in every aspect of their lives.

In 99 short chapters it reveals some of the most common judgment errors we bump into every day.


2. "The Language of Flowers" by Vanessa Diffenbaugh

This is more of a personal choice, "The Language of Flowers" helped me evolve in a mesmerizing way. When it comes to the book itself, it is a Romance novel about Victoria Jones, an orphan who spent her whole childhood in foster homes, that grows up and starts a life on her own, but it turns out that past and present have a stronger bond than she imagined and it returned to haunt her. This book helped me understand what were my priorities and inspired me to write tons of stories I am genuinely proud of.


3. "The Emperor of All Maladies" by Siddharta Mukherjee

As I mentioned in my description I grew up in a place children came to be treated from cancer, so this book holds a special place in my heart. This "biography" of cancer explains many aspects of this ruthless disease to people that don't have much knowledge of it. I couldn't say it better so I took a few directly from the description of the book: "Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years."


4. "Oxford Dictionary of English"

This one may seem irrelevant to some people, but when you come to think about it, the dictionary is one of the most important book in our lives. Without it, who knows how exact definitions would be.


5. "Looking for Alaska" by John Green

This book is another personal choice, influenced by my strange imagination. When I would read a book I liked, I would always put myself in the place of the characters in the respective book, and with "Looking for Alaska" I did the same thing. Days after days I shouted at Miles in my head for letting Alaska go, and cried for what happened to Alaska. This book taught me to live in the present and not to be afraid to love.
