If you could recommend 3 books to anyone, what would they be?
Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari
To everybody, really. I think it's important for everybody to know history & its importance so that we won't repeat the same mistakes our ancestors made. Unfortunately, we keep on repeating them.
The Four Agreement by Don Miguel Ruiz
Someone who's trying to become a better version of themselves. It's a great self-help book showing you why you're feeling what you're feeling & that it's really ok to not be ok. Humans are just wired differently from other species, in which most of the time, causes us suffering.
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles by Haruki Murakami
I'm a big fan of Haruki Murakami & read almost all of his books. I'm really into surreal art & I felt like he's making what Salvadore Dali made but in the form of literature instead. The beauty of mundane life & melancholy is portrayed real well in most of his work.
