Books that changed your perspective

I've been thinking a lot about Books that changed your perspective lately and wanted to get everyone's thoughts. Personally, I find that...

During the winter months, I tend to gravitate toward books that explore this theme in depth. There's something about the season that makes it particularly relevant.

One challenge I've encountered is finding balanced perspectives. Many books seem to take extreme positions rather than presenting a nuanced view.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!
