10 Powerful Books That Can Change Your Life and the Way You Think (4 of 6)

6. “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz

A relatively short book at 160 pages, but it nonetheless packs a powerful punch. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, it outlines four simple principles for living a more peaceful, authentic life: be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, don’t make assumptions, and always do your best. Simple? Yes. Easy? Not always.

7. “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho

“The Alchemist” is basically a spiritual guide disguised as a novel. It follows the journey of Santiago, a shepherd boy who sets out to follow his dreams and find his “personal legend.” Along the way, he learns timeless lessons about love, destiny, and inner truth. A must-read when you’re feeling uncertain or lost.
