A rainy evening, a soft sofa and a long-loved book - what could be more cozy? The most interesting books must be read on paper, not on the screen.
They say that printing ink emits a special energy, in contrast to the soulless “numbers” on the screen of a reader or tablet. You may or may not believe it, but there are books that are worth reading in any form and from any medium!
Everyone has their own top 10 books - some people start reading Dostoevsky and Tolstoy after 40, while others only need specialized literature.
There are people who read only the most popular books of recent years in order to keep abreast of fashion trends.
A list of references is like a handkerchief, a very personal and individual thing.
At the same time, it is not without reason that one of the main queries in search engines is “top 10 best books.”
The Growth Phase has selected its top 10 books. These are “smart” works, when discussing them in a company you can show off snobbery, they say, “we know, we’ve read, but it’s strange why they talk about it so much!”
Moreover, the works on the list are not only fashionable literature, but also truly the most interesting books of the last decade. These are things that are worth reading both for pleasure and for self-development.
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Yuval Noah Harari
The personality of the author, Israeli professor of historical sciences Harari, deserves special attention.
The 42-year-old Israeli citizen began his career as a military man, but became interested in medieval history and became one of the most popular authors of global historical works.
At the same time, he is a convinced vegan, an active advocate of animal rights, and gay. He is interested in Eastern culture, regularly practices Vipassana, asceticism and avoids social networks.
It is very interesting to look at the history of planet Earth through the prism of such a person’s worldview!
His A Brief History of Humankind has been translated into more than 45 languages. Of course, this is a book of planetary scale and incredible scope of thought.
What is this book about?
Harari invites us to look back into history hundreds of thousands of years ago - into the Stone Age - and try to answer the global question: why did Homo Sapiens begin to dominate all living beings?
The book runs through the idea of human violence against animals. At the same time, according to Harari, it is a reasonable person who has a quality that no other living creature has: the ability to collaborate and cooperate.
Questions of ethics, an excursion into evolution, scientific data, a short course in cognitive psychology - even the most discerning reader will find something in this book that touches his mind and heart.
Why is it so important to read
Reading involves active brain activity that involves interpreting symbols and creating images. There are several types of reading, depending on the final goal, the complexity of the information presented and the reader’s understanding. People read to gain new information (cognition) or for entertainment.
Sometimes the complexity of the text is higher than a person’s erudition and intelligence, and he has to make an effort to understand the meanings that the author has put into the work. Such literature requires more active mental activity from a person. Not everyone can read and understand, because you need to not only remember the information, but also let it pass through you, relate it to your experience, and mentally draw a picture.
There are two types of readers: those who find this activity easy and enjoy the process, and those who must make a huge effort to complete at least one chapter. But everyone can develop the skill of reading; it’s worth trying a little and finding that “first” book that interests you will become the lever that will make you fall in love with reading.
All the “great books” were written for beginners. It is worth learning from those who are superior to the majority in their intellectual development, have extensive experience and convey their knowledge in an accessible form. The only way that will help you master and understand a “complex” book is to read a lot, using your intellectual potential, moving from simpler to more complex.
Constantly reading something simple is not an option for a person who wants to improve. You can study on your own or with the help of a mentor who will help you understand, push you to understand and explain what we are not yet able to comprehend. The teacher only facilitates the process of understanding, presents knowledge in a simpler, processed form.
There are two types of books for developing the mind:
- Various anthologies, textbooks - retellings of other people's thoughts and ideas. This is passive consumption of information, which is not capable of truly teaching one to think independently.
- Classic – contains a raw, original idea that fills the brain with new information, shares experience and knowledge. These are not always old works; such literature exists at all times. Reading books like this makes a person think independently, be able to evaluate and identify what is useful. It disciplines, raises self-esteem, and activates thinking.
Think slow...decide fast, Daniel Kahneman
Psychologist Daniel Kahneman is a global figure. He developed one of the psychological economic theories and received the Nobel Prize.
It is he who, throughout his professional career, tries to explain the well-known phenomenon: why do people spend money irrationally and act irrationally in general?
Many economists and managers of transnational corporations build their models on the basis of Kahneman’s works.
He could have become the richest man in the world and the coolest businessman in the history of mankind, but he devoted himself exclusively to science, writing and educational activities.
What is this book about?
"Think Slow... Decide Fast" is a book on cognitive psychology. In general, it is surprising how a work written far from being for a wide audience and in far from the most accessible language turned out to be a world bestseller.
There are a lot of diagrams, tables, diagrams and tedious columns with statistical data. At the same time, for some reason it is impossible to tear yourself away, as soon as you begin to even roughly understand what is being said.
The book describes a model of human decision making - as Kahneman understands it.
The process of thinking, choosing and making volitional decisions is described to the smallest neurophysiological detail.
"Steal Like an Artist: A Creative Diary." Austin Kleon
Book on Ozon.ru
This is a special notebook that will teach you to think broadly and look for ideas. The main thing is to consciously carry out tasks and exercises: draw illustrations of your day, make lists of the things you fear most, and choose words from a story so that you end up with a poem. At the end of the diary there is a special idea box - a small envelope in which you can store notes about new projects, postcards and photographs.
Austin Kleon advises to always carry a diary with you and complete at least one task a day until all the pages are filled. The diary will be enough for several months of daily work - and this is a full-fledged course on the development of creative thinking.
Seven short lessons in physics, Carlo Rovelli
Carlo Rovelli is an Italian physicist who made major scientific contributions to the theory of quantum gravity.
He is also a brilliant popularizer. Like no one else, Rovelli knows how to explain complex things in simple language: what is time, space, quanta, why does the scientific world need a hadron collider?
Immediately after its release in Italy, this book broke sales records - in the author’s homeland it sold even better than the giant among bestsellers “50 Shades of Gray”!
So if you want to finally understand for yourself what modern physics is, and be able to briefly explain the main provisions of quantum theory in a smart company, the book is definitely for you.
What is this book about?
Rovelli's popular science work touches not only on scientific issues, but also easily and in simple language introduces the reader to the biographies of scientists and the circumstances of the emergence of the most popular physical hypotheses.
How did Einstein create his theory of relativity? How did quantum mechanics appear and which scientist is behind it? How is particle physics different from just physics?
There are quite accessible answers to all these questions in the book. But that’s not even the main thing.
Rovelli's work is intended primarily for those readers who do not have the slightest idea about physical science.
Like all the most popular books, it's like a first-grade textbook, but written for adults who can already read a little.
At the same time, the bottom line is that after reading this work you can feel several times smarter!

The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert
Journalist Colbert has devoted her entire life to environmental issues. She visited almost every country in the world, studied endangered species of animals and plants, and collected scientific data.
And I came to the conclusion: human history has developed in an unnatural way, and the planet is on the verge of extinction. An expected conclusion for an environmental activist, but the book is replete with very unexpected facts.
According to Colbert, the extinction of all life on the planet is a global but underestimated problem. The journalist claims that any owner of a private house can find traces of extinction right in his yard.
The book also contains optimistic conclusions. For example, Colbert believes that global warming could play a positive role for the planet in the distant future.
What is this book about?
The author convincingly talks about the five periods of extinction of the planet. He not only talks, but also provides colorful scientific illustrations and data, makes lists, forecasts and diagrams.
At the same time, Colbert is relentless in her summary: human activity will also lead to the sixth extinction. Unless, of course, people stop throwing chemicals into the air, polluting rivers and depleting the soil.
The book by the American journalist is not at all propaganda material and not the paranoid theory of a mad scientist, as the title might seem at first glance.
This literature is primarily about love. To people, animals, the planet, nature and life itself.
Most importantly, Colbert backs up each of his alarming conclusions with evidence, so it is difficult to blame this author for excessive alarmism.
List of detectives for the development of logic and deduction
Fans of detective stories are also lucky; this genre of literature is useful for developing the mind, logic, deduction and ingenuity.

- "Guess the Number" John Verdon.
- "Sharp Objects" by Gillian Flynn.
- "The Voice of the Night Bird" by Robert McCamon.

If you really love the detective genre, we recommend reading the article The Best Detectives: Books Loved by Readers.
Capital in the 21st Century, Tom Piketty
If we conditionally divide humanity into two political camps - right and left - then for the first the reference book will be “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand, and for the second - just “Capital in the 21st Century”.
The main idea of “Atlas” is that socialism and “equalization” are the greatest moral evils. At the same time, economist Tom Piketty is sure that evil is precisely the concentration of all wealth in one hand.
At the same time, he is not at all a “leftist” who advocates “taking everything and dividing it up.” Piketty is simply proposing to tax the richest people progressively, rather than support non-working dependents.
What is this book about?
Piketty shows how social and economic inequality was formed in the United States and Europe, and what the concentration of large incomes in a limited number of wallets will lead to.
His conclusion will not please supporters of wild capitalism: economic inequality will be dangerous, first of all, for the rich and those in power.
And it is in their interests to do everything possible to reduce the social gap between people. Why? In his book, the economist gives categorical arguments.
The main thesis of his work is simple: if the level of return on capital turns out to be higher than the level of economic growth in a particular state, then the concentration of wealth will increase.
And this will lead to undesirable consequences for the world community. For example, it can jeopardize all democratic institutions and democracy in general.
This book is worth reading for those who are ready to form their own opinion and intelligently speculate about reasonable government intervention in the market, but without being considered a person with extreme left-wing views.
"The Art of War" - Sun Tzu
“He who gets a hundred victories in a hundred fights is not a hero; heroism is to conquer an antagonistic army without fighting at all” - a quote from a philosophically strategic work of an ancient Chinese military leader. The book is devoted to politics and military strategy. Although the concept of war in the treatise is quite allegorical.
How can this knowledge be useful in everyday life if you do not plan to conquer the world in the near future? They can be easily applied in business. Typical quote: “A leader is defined by his character, not his position.”
The book is not one of the simple ones, but this is exactly what will allow you to look at the world from a different angle and expand your horizons.
The king of all diseases. Biography of cancer. Siddhartha Mukherjee
For this book, Indian oncologist Mukherjee received the Pulitzer Prize, the highest award in the field of journalism.
In addition, “The Biography of Cancer” was included in all imaginable and inconceivable lists and ratings: the best books of the top 10 of the decade, the twentieth anniversary, and even the top 100 non-fiction works since 1923, according to Time magazine
.
There was a good story behind the creation of this book. As the author himself said, one patient told him, his doctor, that he was ready to continue the fight against oncology, but it was important for him to understand who his enemy was.
And oncologist Mukherjee wrote a book about the biography of the most serious illness of all times.
What is this book about?
The work has two storylines: the first is the story of cancer (in one translation - “emperor of illnesses”), the second is a narration from the perspective of the doctor himself.
The oncologist organically weaves true stories of patients and memories of doctors into the context of the biography of cancer.
The book is of interest not only to a wide range of readers, but also to specialists.
The history of humanity's struggle against cancer is described here in detail, starting from lead tinctures and ending with the latest achievements in the field of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Silence is the strength of introverts, Susan Cain
This fiction book by teacher and negotiation consultant Susan Cain was included in the list of “most popular books about psychology” immediately after its appearance in the early 2010s, although the author is not a professional psychologist.
At the same time, even for specialists, the book turned out to be revolutionary in many ways. Why? Because the world was supposed to belong to extroverts, and quiet people, focused on their inner world, seemed doomed to vegetate on the margins.
But it was not there! Kane demonstrates one idea convincingly.
What is this book about?
Susan Cain, in her work in an accessible and simple language, provides an excursion into neurophysiology and popularly explains the difference between extroverts and introverts, between true introverts and shy people.
Her message to parents of quiet children: there is no need to change them and worry about their future! They are already good! And let the world around you better be silent a little.
And the author’s main message to the world is that a real “revolution of silence” is coming. Soon such qualities as negotiation skills, communication skills and the ability to chat about everything in the world will not be in the foreground.
Silent people will take the palm from extroverts due to their special sensitivity, wisdom and deep understanding of life.
Harry Lorraine "Supermemory. Development of phenomenal memory"
The book includes two psychological bestsellers by Harry Lorraine, the famous brain researcher. The unique system for developing mental abilities that he developed allows you to use not 10 percent of the brain’s resources, as is usually the case, but all 90! Having mastered this system, you will notice not only increased observation, sharpened attention, increased ability to concentrate, but also a phenomenal improvement in memory, imagination, and creative potential. Moreover, the proposed method is relatively simple and accessible, and it is not for nothing that the author called it “a method for the lazy.”
The first part of the book is devoted to the basic techniques and methods of memorizing large amounts of information. The second is to apply the acquired skills in everyday life.
Hell's web. How to survive in the world of narcissism. Sandy Hotchkiss
The book by psychoanalyst and psychotherapist Sandy Hotchkiss became, in fact, the first popular work that examined in detail the phenomenon of narcissism.
With the light hand of Dr. Hotchkiss, the labels “narcissist”, “psychopath” and “perverse manipulator” have become firmly attached in women’s online communities to almost all men who are capable of offending their women.
We all know that there are people who seem to be “ahead of the rest”, who always love to be on a pedestal, in the spotlight, one way or another regularly demonstrating their superiority and grandiosity.
And until recently, this type of character was classified as a pathology of the hysteroid spectrum. But Dr. Hotchkiss convincingly showed the difference between fairly harmless hysterics and true narcissists.
What is this book about?
The author describes the main signs of narcissism - problems with empathy, a tendency to devalue oneself and others, emotional “swings” from a sense of grandiosity to a feeling of one’s own insignificance, the desire for power.
This is an interesting read not only for psychologists: upon closer examination, every reader can find one or more narcissists in their environment.
According to Hotchkiss, narcissists have actually taken over the world: people with this disorder occupy almost all the key positions on the planet, and the rest of humanity often finds themselves victims of their manipulation. Sad picture!
Good news for all those burdened with empathy: narcissists are not happy at all, but deep down they suffer very much. However, this fact hardly changes anything for their victims.
In the case of true, malignant narcissism, Hotchkis suggests not pitying these people, but simply staying away from them.
"The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" - Mark Manson
The book by American entrepreneur and writer Mark Manson became a bestseller due to the vitality of the questions it raises. Namely, about the imposition by modern culture of unrealistic ideals and expectations: high grades, only perfect appearance, cutting-edge gadgets, cool work and bright photos on social networks.
Due to the tendency and desire for impossible perfection, people experience stress and pressure. The book is intended for those who want to learn to constructively perceive the world around them, and also highlights the meaning of negative experiences. After all, it is important to learn to soberly assess what is worth worrying about and what is better not to pay attention to.
According to the author, the law of reverse effort has its name for a reason: if you stop wanting something, everything starts to happen the other way around. If chasing the positive is negative, then chasing the negative creates positivity. The pain you experience in the gym creates better health and fills you with energy. Failure in business helps you better understand what it takes to succeed. Frankly admitting your weaknesses paradoxically makes you more confident and pleasant to people.
Cities for people, Jan Gehl
In the epic battle between drivers and pedestrians, Danish architect and urban planning expert Jan Gehl is clearly on the side of the latter.
This is not just a book about comfortable urban space. Gale touches on both psychological and philosophical questions: why has life in a modern city become acceptable only for motorists?
Where have the simple human joys of walking along quiet city streets and relaxing in comfortably equipped shady parks gone?
Gale’s main idea is this: if there are a lot of children on the streets of a village or city, then the urban space can be called high-quality. No? This place is comfortable mainly for cars.
According to Gale, building more roads to reduce traffic jams is like building more prisons to fight crime.
What is this book about?
If all officials and all ministers of infrastructure read this book, there would not be a single city left in the world where its residents would not feel comfortable.
Gale explains in an artistic and popular form what the quality of human life is and what urbanism has to do with it.
The book “Cities for People” was included in our list of “smart” literature for the author’s absolutely non-trivial ideas.
His call is to change the automotive scale of life to a human, lively and warm one.
At the same time, Gale gives very real advice on how to achieve this in practice while maintaining economic benefits for all participants in the process.
Books for men
Below I will tell you which books will awaken courage, rage and strength in you.
No. 1. “Think big and don’t slow down” - Donald Trump
(Leadership, just about business)
About the author: Donald John Trump is a politician, entrepreneur, 45th President of the United States from January 20, 2022 to January 20, 2022.
About the book:
I think many will be interested to know what Trump was like before he became President of the United States. If you have a negative opinion about him, then I assure you that after reading the book it will change for the better.
In a nutshell, this is the story of a cunning and diligent man.
The book motivates you to never give up on your goal, never stop and be alert. Should appeal to male representatives.

About the author: Gleb Arkhangelsky is the initiator of the Russian TM movement, the founder of the Time Management community, the creator of the largest time management project on the Internet - Improvement.ru.

The book is perfect for those who want to live in the present moment, not drown in a swamp of affairs, be productive, and at the same time have a good rest.
All tips can be used immediately after reading. I can say for myself that after using the techniques described in the book, my anxiety and fuss disappeared - I became calm.

I recommend it to anyone who is currently facing serious challenges.

About the author: Robert Glover is an American psychotherapist, blogger, online training organizer, and author of a book about the “nice guy” syndrome.

If you think that you need to improve exactly those qualities in yourself that are described above, then the book is definitely for you.
PS This is especially true for those who were raised without fathers.

SELF-KNOWLEDGE
Self-knowledge is the process of discovering your potential. This is where you need to start self-development. If you don't understand what your best talents are, then you're unlikely to find your path in life. And this will only lead to a constant feeling of unhappiness. Everyone should only do what they are meant to do. And this is the mistake of 90% of people - skipping the process of self-knowledge. Perhaps this is not your fault, but rather the education system, which taught this in the early years of personality development, is more to blame. But once you have embarked on the path of self-development, you must begin it by knowing yourself.
This is what is called point A.

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
“Write, shorten” - Lyudmila Sarychev, Maxim Ilyakhov
The book will be a good helper for those who want to learn how to express thoughts briefly, clearly and convincingly, without linguistic garbage, falsehood and cliches. It will be useful for everyone who works with text: copywriters, authors, editors, designers, programmers, managers, entrepreneurs and executives.
The authors show with examples what is good and what is not in informational, advertising, journalistic and journalistic texts. By following the recommendations outlined in the book, you will learn to write clearly and engagingly.
Even if your profession is not related to the processing and dissemination of information, but you want to learn how to competently organize and express your thoughts, then “Write, Reduce” will be a good impetus.
