"the book of Mirdad" by Mikha'il Na'ima. I just wanted everyone to read it. It's a philosophical narrative of strive, peace, perspective, growth... When I read it I gained hope for humanity.
I cannot say enough about this book. It's opened my head and broadened my horizon.
In a similar but more practical way: "the power of now" by Eckart Tolle is something that I quote from even years after reading it. Like the title suggests, it's a helper to find the moment, the presence in the present.
