Mindset by Carol Dweck. The ideas of the book’s simple: We can change our mindset and a growth mindset is better than a fixed one. I found this book too much of a self-help nature for my taste. Reading about her research is much better than reading this book (for example, see here and here).The Happiness Myth by Jennifer Michael Hecht. One of the more sophisticated books on happiness. Full of wisdoms drawn from literature, history, science and philosophy. It leads one to question many of the absurdities we take for granted in life and helps put things in better perspective. This is a book I’d probably read again.
After Dark by Haruki Murakami. I got the Japanese version and still figuring out how to get the most out of it. I find it much harder to understand/enjoy fiction written in a second language.
