1. The Road Less Travelled by Scott Peck
《少有人走的路》 斯科特·派克著

简单地说，这本书封装了你的心智成熟的旅程，让你从精神层面得到进步的启发。这本书从不轻易告诉你面对冲突时的解决办法。它只是简单告诉你：“痛苦是人生必不可少的部分”，你所需要做的就是以更好的心态洞悉世事，赢取充实的人生。

2. The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann
《做一个积极的付出者》 鲍勃·伯格、约翰·大卫·曼著

I didn’t even expect that such a small book could make a huge difference in my approach towards life. It simply says, “Give” and go on explaining 5 profound laws that directs the mankind and concludes that there is always a truth in the opposite.
我甚至从未期望这样一本小小的书能使我对待生活的态度得到巨大改变。书中主要阐述了“付出”，同时解析了5大指引人类的定律（终极成功五大定律”：价值定律、收入定律、影响力定律、真实定律和收获定律），结论是在每个真理背后都有一个相反的定律。
