Curious, although not altogether unsurprising, to find so few fiction books being mentioned. :)

For me, it would be a toss-up between James Clavell's «Shogun» (but I wouldn't really be able to explain how or why), and then perhaps «Waking Up» by Sam Harris (a bit more obvious).

Bought it 1 hour ago. Great reading so far. Thanks for the pointer.

I agree with you about Shogun. I think the transformative properties of that book relate to the Samurai mindset.
