Not sure if these books are unknown or fallen out of favor, but I've never spoken to anyone else who's read them without me passing them on first:
Travels - Michael Crichton - a number of useful life lessons I'm only just catching up on

Another thought, Robert Heinlein doesn't seem well known in the UK these days but I think he might be better thought of in the UK although may be considered dated and sexist. I often see him quoted on here.
- inerg 7y agoAny chance you can expand on what kind of life lessons you found in the Travels book? The description of the book makes it sound like it's just a collection of adventures.
- thorin 7y agoIt's split into 3 parts 1. Medical School 2. World travel 3. Inner travel The medical school part has some interesting perspective on careers/development and life goals. The world travel deals quite a bit on relationships. The inner travels part challenges a few preconceptions. I first read it about 20yrs ago and I've re-read it a few times which is unusual for me.
