5 books for times of crisis

How many questions about life have you asked yourself in the past few weeks?

These are atypical times. Times that put everything in perspective and make us question who we are and what life is supposed to look like. Who are we as individuals? Who are we as societies? Why do we feel the way we do? What is the meaning of what we are living?

While each of us is probably finding their own answers, it feels good to know that we are not alone. The way we deal with this, as humans, is shared by others who are going through the same, and it was shared by many generations that came before us.

Throughout time, there have been answers to the questions above. Books that can help us make sense of what it means to be human and that can give us a new pair of lenses through which to look at our new daily life.

I would like to suggest five of the most impactful books I ever read. I found comfort, inspiration and perspective in them. I hope you do too.
