1. Essays — Michel de Montaigne
This book was extraordinary for answering my deepest philosophical, existential questions. It is like a conversation with a 16th-century philosopher in a most honest way. He is very honest and informative with various subjects. This book started me learn science, follow my passions, and even started writing. This book had a life-changing effect on me. He is like an honest man trying to convey his ideas of life to you. And his ideas and suggestions on life are great. He is mostly referring to ancient Greek philosophers and does a very good job when conveying his ideas of life. I have hundreds of notes in the book which I always open and read some sections when I am depressed or anxious about life.
