I've read a lot of scifi but I'd recommend only one to make sure you get the point: The "remembrance of earth's past" trilogy (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_of_Earth%27s_Pas... (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_of_Earth%27s_Past)) which is more known as "the three body problem". All the books are great but my favourite by a large margin is "the dark forest" (part 2)

Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy, aka Three Body Problem. Explored existential topics in a way I've never encountered anywhere else. I truly believe that decades from now this series will be viewed as the LOTR of our time. I've recently been reading the Foundation series, and have found the concept of The Mule character to be incredibly eye opening. I can't say directly it's had a positive impact on my life but it's definitely changing my outlook and I feel its expanded my horizons.
