    The first book is a philosophy of life. Its brilliance lies in its storytelling approach. If you can understand light novels, you can understand this one. I didn't take it seriously at first, but after finishing it, I truly understood [facepalm]. The second book is about role models in traditional Chinese medicine, presented from the perspective of life experiences—exemplary figures for us all. The third book was my first book on organizing my thoughts, and it has always left a deep impression on me. Even after reading many other books, I still can't forget this one. About the recommender: A fourteen-year bookworm, a philosophy enthusiast. I can't stand anything without logic. I have a high threshold for humor; I can't stand awkward jokes. I also can't stand books with skewed values ​​(there are exceptions in some details, but the overall direction must be positive). I can't stand negative content, overly complex writing, or anything with a strong sense of intellectual excitement. That's all.
