This week's topic asks, what is a must read book when you are in your 20s? And the two books I recommend for 20 year olds of all ages are:
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. GoodReads summarizes the book as..."a philosophical novel...examining the hidden cultural biases driving modern civilization and explores themes of ethics, sustainability, and global catastrophe. Largely framed as a Socratic conversation between two characters, Ishmael aims to expose that several widely accepted assumptions of modern society..."
Ishmael is a conversation between an American man and an ape. Yes, that's right. And they talk about how many of our ideas of what is "modern" might be wrong or worse!
I used to teach workshops on Who Moved My Cheese, by Dr. Spencer Johnson. On the cover, it is a business book about adapting. But at its heart, it is for everyone who is about to start a new and dramatic change in their life. Even if they don't feel prepared for that change.
