What book has made you change your whole perspective on life ?

Craig · Accepted Answer

Gives intro/retrospect in the cruelty men are able to afflict upon each other with little reason. Also, humanities ability to prosper hope in the bleakest of shadows.

That’s a profound question. For me, it’s 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho. It really changed how I look at my own journey and the pursuit of dreams. It’s a classic for a reason.
How about you? Is there a book that completely shifted your perspective?

Rusk · Answer

There are a couple. The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell. This book opened my eyes to the absolute power that ancient stories have on our collective consciousness from the great religious writings, and the literature that is embedded in our DNA. The second is The Masks of God, also by Campbell, he delves deeper into the interconnection of the great religions and brings to light all of the myths and stories that appear in each religion, many are the same stories, even though they developed in very distant parts of the world from each other.

These books helped me examine my own spirituality and allowed me to deconstruct modern religion to a point where I began to understand the difference of the messages of the great masters while ignoring the patriarchal, monarchical, and culture additions, or omissions of the people writing them.
