Let's recommend some books on positive living!

I would recommend Siddhartha

I would also recommend don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff.

 

[Bolshevik***]

Siddhartha is a good one.

My personal favorite would be The River Why by David James Duncan. It's such a great story, starts out as somewhat of a coming of age novel, but as the story progresses, it becomes very philosophical, focusing on the protagonist's search for meaning in life, and introducing a plethora of fantastic characters. It's actually my favorite book of all time, probably a bit biased because my Mom read parts of it to me before she died, which led me to reading it on my own. Nevertheless, it's an extremely well-written book.

I thought "How to Win Friends and Influence People" was a pretty good book back when I read it.

Dostoyevsky, "The Idiot"

The dahli lama wrote multiple books on the art of happiness and other topics. Meditation saved my mind.

Wasn't there an audio book for that? Pretty sure I've got it

Excellent book. I've been thinking about rereading it lately.

The Dali Lama wrote one I think is called "how to practice the way to a meaningful life"

It made me laugh, which is positive - I guess.
