#3. The Answer to the Riddle Is Me by David Stuart
Imagine waking up one day only to find yourself in a foreign country and not a single clue about who you are. Well, this is the story of David Stuart. At twenty-eight years old, David woke up in a foreign land with his memory wiped clean. No money. No passport. No identity.
A deeply felt, closely researched, and intensely personal book.
#4. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
In this day and age and with all the hustle and bustle of life, young people rarely spend their time listening to or getting advice from older guys. If they do, it is at a seminar, a workshop or a work related training program.
This book emphasizes the importance of constantly seeking advice and learning from the best.
