A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel heavily informed my attitude to investment/savings and put to bed any dreams I had of magically day-trading my way to wealth in my spare time.
Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman is just generally a really interesting book and impacted the way I view decision-making.
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami really opened my eyes to unconventional plotlines and surrealist/magic realist themes, and in doing so greatly impacted my exploration and enjoyment of literature and other art.
- potta_coffee 4y agoI wouldn't say that The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle changed my life, but I've enjoyed the book three times now, one of my all-time favorites.
- ArtWomb 4y agoHaruki Murakami for me too. Hayao Miyazaki and Shigero Miyamoto probably complete the triumvirate. Moreso than any novel or the short stories in the New Yorker, it was Murakami simply writing himself as this Tokyo Drifter character re-discovering zen through jazz and surrealism ;)
