'Enlightening' book recommendations

[ladybird11]

Hi ladies,

Hope you've all had a great start to the new year!

I'm wondering if anyone would be keen to share their book recommendations with me.....think along the lines of Dalai Lama / enlightening / spiritual / feel good / be good to the world and other people.

Ok, that sounded insanely nutso - but surely someone gets me?!?!

TIA!

Life is So Good by George Dawson and Richard Glaubman

"In this remarkable book, 103-year-old George Dawson, a slave's grandson who learned to read at age 98, reflects on his life and offers valuable lessons in living as well as a fresh, firsthand view of America during the twentieth century. Richard Glaubman captures Dawson's irresistible voice and view of the world, offering insights into humanity, history, hardships, and happiness. From segregation and civil rights, to the wars, presidents, and defining moments in history, George Dawson's description and assessment of the last century inspires readers with the message that-through it all-has sustained him: "Life is so good. I do believe it's getting better." "

At times this book made me sad and angry as hell, but overall it was incredibly uplifting. What this man went through, and grace with which he lived his life was incredible. Well worth the read.
