Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes you’ll feel lost. When I was younger, in such cases, I’d turn to my family and friends. Usually, their advice would be enough to help me through. As I grew older and became more independent, the advice from them wasn’t enough and I began to read some books, which helped me a lot. Here are some of them.
