If you are looking for valuable books, here are 10 of those I’ve read and found worth every minute I spent reading them.

A good mix of fiction and non-fiction, these books will keep your reading regime colorful while ensuring you get something valuable out of each one of them.

1. “Choose Yourself”

By: James Altucher
Genre: Non-fiction, self-help

“Only worry about your own happiness, which doesn’t have to be limited by anyone else’s stupidity unless you allow it to be.”

Choose Yourself is one of the most resourceful books I’ve read in my life. I suggest it to anyone who has not read it, even if non-fiction and self-help are not your thing.

Choose Yourself takes you on a journey of self-prioritization to make your life fulfilling in every way possible.

It contains lessons and ideas inspired by Altucher’s own experience and that of countless thinkers and world leaders molded into simple steps you can undertake every day to get yourself out of the rut of life.

2. 1984

By: George Orwell
Genre: Dystopian science fiction

“War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength.”

Reading this book made me realize the importance of independent thoughts and revolutions.

Even if politics doesn’t interest you, this book will show you why it is necessary for each one of us to understand leadership and have our own opinions of them.

3. The Stranger

By: Albert Camus
Genre: Psychological fiction

Do you ever wonder what is the meaning of life? What is the meaning in suffering, loss, birth, and death? If yes, then Camus’s The Stranger might yield some intriguing answers.

The Stranger is a classic and an important book taught as a part of the curriculum in many schools across the globe so if you’re planning on reading a few books this year, you mustn’t miss this one.

4. The Silent Patient

By: Alex Michaledias
Genre: Mystery/thriller fiction

I have read countless mystery books in my life but none of them come close to shocking me the way The Silent Patient did.

The storytelling in this book is so impeccable that you don’t realize when the twist hits you in the face.

In that moment, the sheer brilliance of the book culminates and you can’t help but crown this book as one of the best mysteries to have ever been written.

5. A Brief History of Time

By: Stephen Hawking
Genre: Science non-fiction

The idea of space, time, and the universe intrigues us all. However, not all of us delve much into it because of the jargon and the depth of research associated with such topics.

Instead, we look for simpler accounts that can explain all this to us in layman’s terms.

Legendary scientist and physicist Stephen Hawking wrote A Brief History of Time exactly for this purpose: to answer the common man’s questions of the concept of the universe and its timeline.

6. Man’s Search For Meaning

By: Viktor Frankl
Genre: Spiritual/philosophical non-fiction

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

How does a man’s mind function when he faces the worst-case scenario?

How do you deal with a situation which forces you to hope against hope, no matter what the future holds?

How do you train your mind to not only deal with but also take pride in the inevitable suffering?

Frankl talks about how, if a person can find a purpose to live, he can survive even the worst impending atrocities.

8. We Should All Be Feminists

By: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Genre: Non-fiction essay

“We spend too much time telling girls that they cannot be angry or aggressive or tough, which is bad enough, but then we turn around and either praise or excuse men for the same reasons.”

In this book, this critically acclaimed author not only lays convincing arguments in favor of feminism but also deals with the men’s side of the issue.

9. Clap When You Land

No one can understand the loss of losing a parent better than your sibling. But what if the sibling reminds you of the side of your parent you never want to see?

10. The Nightingale

By: Kristin Hannah

“In love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.”

If you must read a book about war, then let this be it.
