Out of 36 books I read this year, these 4 positions have the biggest impact on my life: The gene: an intimate history by Siddhartha Mukherjee - fascinating book about genes and medicine. Author explains ~150 years of experiments and findings in genetic science without going into technical details. The child in you by Stefanie Stahl - it is one of the most important books I ever read. This book helped me understand myself, discover and overcome some of my traumas. Nonviolent communication: a language of life by Marshall Rosenberg - very good handbook for improving your communication skills. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - when I think of this book word "charming" comes to my mind.
