For all the book readers who had no previous interest. What is the one book that got you started and why?

Happiness trap

Basically I am a "shy" guy. I didn't talk much in my life and I thought it was my problem. When I was broke I wanted counseling but in my country if someone talks about going to psychiatrist (there are no psychologists in my town) he is considered mental. No one goes to psychologist or to psychiatrist. If someone has mental problems it is considered as his fate and unsolvable.

Having no alternatives I started reading these books and that's when I realized that my actual problem was I didn't know what life is. I didn't know how the world works.

That book is a life saver for me. Books give me right perspective to think on.
