The Midnight Library
This isn’t a self-help book, but a piece of fiction that I found incredibly inspiring. I recommend it to everyone I meet. A dazzling novel about all the choices that go into a life well-lived.
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe, there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?
