This thread died fast, lol. Maybe it needs pictures. For a short read (~130 pgs.) that might change your life, Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl was one of the most moving books I've ever read. It's based on the author's experience as a psychotherapist trying to keep his fellow prisoners alive in a Nazi concentration camp:
"How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."
-- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
