As you can probably gather from the title, I'm not a huge fan of the self help genre and generally find most of those books to be regurgitating the same crap to make publishers and their authors rich. However, some great works of literature have had significant impacts on my life and how I feel and I'd love to hear some more suggestions with regard to this. After reading Education of a Wandering Man, by L'amour, my decisions and outlook changed vastly. Can add to this a bunch of others, including the classics from Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky.
What are some of your favorites? Any works of literature that changed your outlook or helped you through a rough time?
