Library Parking structure of Kansas City Library - Cool, eh?
There's nothing like a good book to change your perspective. Whether you are running up against a wall or are just simply burnt out, you may be surprised by the wonders that cracking open a book can do for you. The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and Letters from a Stoic by Seneca are two great places to start. There is something timeless about these books that is equally inspiring and informative. Don't discredit fiction, though. Books like Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk and The Moviegoer by Walker Percy offer a unique perspective. Finally, if none of this works, try picking up a biography, like Plutarch's Lives. There is a lot to be learned from the mistakes and triumphs others have experienced in their lives, knowledge that we can implement when facing everyday challenges.
