Life-Changing Reads: The Most Impactful Book I Have Ever Read

The book that completely transformed my life, and the one that brought the most change was a very spiritual book.

To understand the full grasp of how this made me change I have to tell you the entire story.

One day my dad woke up, saying that he had just been through an out of body experience during his sleep. He never thought this was possible and had no idea that something like that even existed at that point, so it took him completely by surprise.

To him this was such a big experience that he would spend the next decade researching it, buying books on spirituality and amassing an entire external hard-drive of 400gb worth of books, movies and documents on similar topics.

After a couple of years he tried to slowly show my brothers and I that there was another world where people talked about spirituality, improving oneself, and leading a better life.

I was 16 at the time and it was all too much for me, especially the spiritual parts my dad got so invested in, so I turned away from it and said I didn’t want anything to do with it.

My dad, however, kept talking to us about it every now and again, thinking it was important for us to learn at least some of these things.
