The Subtle Art of Don't Care: A Paradoxical Way to Live Happily by Mark Manson
The author's philosophical view of human life is rather unusual. At first glance, it seems that the book is nothing new, because many of the postulates declared by Mark Manson have already been written down and comprehended by someone. In fact, "The subtle art of indifference" carries a charge of positive thinking, which can actually motivate the reader or listener and make him look at the problem from a different angle.

The book by Robert Kiyosaki became a real bestseller back in the distant 1990s.

Some speak of the book with admiration and enthusiasm, while others argue that they will never again pick up a book with the surname of this author in their hands.

City of Women by Elizabeth Gilbert
Elizabeth Gilbert's novel makes a strong impression from the very first lines. The writer knows how to create not only a separate, unlike anything else world, but also completely immerse the reader in the stunning atmosphere of that time and the circumstances in question. The heroes of the author are unpredictable and, with seeming frivolity, are capable of serious deeds.
"Zuleikha opens her eyes", Guzel Yakhina
The amazing story of Zuleikha, dispossessed in the 1930-1940s, makes a truly poignant impression on the reader. But Guzel Yakhina's novel is not only about the fate of a woman. It is about the resilience and incredible ability of a person to survive, about overcoming oneself and, of course, about love and honesty.
Deadly White by Robert Galbraith
The fourth book, included in the series of works about the private detective Cormoran Strike, is called one of the most fascinating. The magnificent syllable, interesting plot and inimitable atmosphere of a classic English detective story are undoubtedly worthy of attention. Moreover, behind the pseudonym hides a real master - J. K. Rowling.
The Wolf of Wall Street by Jordan Belfort
The book, in which the author described his own biography with almost one hundred percent accuracy, has long and firmly taken its place of honor among the works recommended for mandatory reading. An honest and frank story about the ups and downs of a single person, about overcoming passions and addictions.
"The Diamond Chariot", Boris Akunin
One of the books about detective Erast Fandorin turned out to be emotionally tense, atmospheric and filled with love for life in all its manifestations. Boris Akunin, as always, manages to skillfully mix genres, and therefore a fascinating detective story, a love story, adventure and unique irony are firmly intertwined in The Diamond Chariot.
