Have you ever read a book that changed your life?

I read "Advise and Consent" when I was fifteen. It was a political awakening for me.

Yes. The first book to do that was Tiger Eyes, by Judy Blume

@ProfessorPlum77 As well as for adults, she wrote some books for tweens/young teens and this was one of them. She wrote, primarily, for females, imo.

I read How to win friends and influence people in about tenth grade It didn't change my life for the better. I saw the other side of it was appalled and starting paying attention to the manipulation in society business and government. It was definitely a lesson but altered my view of the human condition.

Island, by Aldous Huxley
The concept of the political, Carl Schmitt
The introduction to "The Prince" by Machiavelli
The Plague, Albert Camus
Dune (the entire series), by Frank Herbert

... All gave me headaches, and all expanded facets of my thinking.

Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn had an important influence on me when I read it in 1995. It introduced me to meditation and the foundations of mindfulness.
