@indu_thangamuthu It's really one of the most eye opening books, I read it some 15 years ago and it is still my favorite story about life.
I started reading the alchemist when I was too young so could never finished...
For me there are a lot but one of them could be The Kite Runner
Awareness: The Perils and Opportunities of Reality by Anthony de Mello
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
1. "Tuesdays With Morrie" - A small book, but gave a lot of perspective about life and death.
2. "The Fist of God - Fredrick Forsyth" - Taught me to stay calm and remain true to my mission, no matter how messed up the situation is.
3. " Tribe of Mentors - Tim Ferris" - Tim asks a series of questions to people highly successful in their fields, and there emerges a pattern.
Can give a few more suggestions, but these are just the top of my head.

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, really made me learn how to not take no for an answer and anything is possible.
@zeenatelle Absolutely loved this book. Also, the amount of research Walter Isaacson has done blew my mind. Apparently Steve Jobs himself did not want the book to come out. I also highly recommend "Benjamin Franklin" by the same author.
The Happiness Trap
"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. This book tells the story of a shepherd boy named Santiago who embarks on a journey to fulfill his dreams. Along the way, he learns important lessons about following his heart, taking risks, and trusting the universe to guide him. The book has inspired many readers, including myself to pursue their passions and trust in life's journey.
