A non-tech, non-business recommendation: "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera. A beautiful story, told with equal parts philosophy, psychology, and humor, and honestly heartbreakingly beautiful.
…Steppenwolf, Siddharta and the Glass Bead Game are other must-reads. Gabriel Garcia Marques, One hundred years of solitude. Practically all of Jorge Luis Borges' short stories. Mind-bending. Milan Kundera's Unbearable Lightness of Being. Michael Ende's Never Ending Story. Enjoy!
…interesting insights on philosophy, the arts, theology, the history of mysticism and the quest for the meaning of life. I know it sounds trite, but I simply wasn't ready for it the first time. * The Unbearable Lightness of Being, by Milan Kundera. [1] I read this 10 years ago. It touched my heart back then and it did it again this time. It's one of the few works of fiction that changed, a little or a lot, the way I think about…
Nietzsche's writing on "eternal return" helped me with similar thoughts. It gives life heaviness, as Kundera says in The Unbearable Lightness of Being. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return Also, learning to "imagine Sisyphus happy." Easier said than done, of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_Sisyphus

推荐一本非技术、非商业的书：米兰·昆德拉的《不能承受的生命之轻》。一个极其优美的故事，哲学、心理学与幽默感各占三分，说实话，美得令人心碎。

……《荒原狼》、《悉达多》和《玻璃球游戏》也是必读书目。加西亚·马尔克斯的《百年孤独》。豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯的短篇小说基本都值得读。脑洞大开。米兰·昆德拉的《不能承受的生命之轻》。米切尔·恩德的《永远讲不完的故事》。慢慢享受吧！

……关于哲学、艺术、神学、神秘主义历史以及探寻人生意义的深刻见解。我知道这听起来很老生常谈，但我第一次读的时候确实还没准备好。* 米兰·昆德拉的《不能承受的生命之轻》。[1] 我10年前读过。当年它深深触动了我，这次重读依然如此。它是极少数或多或少改变了我思考……

尼采关于“永恒轮回”的著作帮我梳理了类似的思绪。正如昆德拉在《不能承受的生命之轻》中所说，它赋予了生命沉重感。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return 另外，还要学会“想象西西弗斯是快乐的”。当然，知易行难。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_Sisyphus

……你已经读过《暗淡蓝点》了（看来我来晚了），那可以试试托马斯·索维尔的《财富、贫困与政治：全球视野》）。如果你想看虚构类作品：- 米兰·昆德拉的《不能承受的生命之轻》 - 罗伯逊·戴维斯的《智者》 - 约翰·斯坦贝克的《伊甸之东》 这样正好凑齐了10本推荐，那我就再额外加一本2015年的：- 《独裁者手册：……
