Sometimes the books that change us aren’t loud. They’re quiet, reflective, and a little uncomfortable. In this episode, I talk about three books that did exactly that for me—Steinbeck’s private journal, a haunting novel about loneliness and pride, and a modern take on how language shapes belief. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your thoughts or curious about how people change, these books offer more than just good stories.
