Ask HN: Which books have made you introspect?
I recommend the Book of Mormon as it is one of the most introspective books you can find.<p>It comes across much clearer than many other religious books like the Bible (even though the Bible I recommend as well) because it has a common narrator who fills in the gaps for you and helps you understand the links between stories.<p>It also is fairly scientific in its premise-- if you do an experiment by reading some of it and asking God if it is true, you can receive an answer from God if you ask Him sincerely and are willing to act upon the answer you receive. See Moroni 10:3-5 [1]<p>The Book of Mormon also answers questions like why am I here? [2]<p>and where am I going after I die? [3]<p>A key idea of the Book of Mormon that is reflected many times is the cycle of &quot;pride&quot;, where a group of people first humbles themselves, then prospers, then becomes prideful and makes poor choices, forgets love for others, and then falls, then causing the people to humble themselves again and repeat the cycle.<p>Overall I heartily recommend this book. Reading it will make you feel great.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lds.org&#x2F;scriptures&#x2F;bofm&#x2F;moro&#x2F;10?lang=eng" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lds.org&#x2F;scriptures&#x2F;bofm&#x2F;moro&#x2F;10?lang=eng</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lds.org&#x2F;scriptures&#x2F;bofm&#x2F;2-ne&#x2F;2?lang=eng" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lds.org&#x2F;scriptures&#x2F;bofm&#x2F;2-ne&#x2F;2?lang=eng</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lds.org&#x2F;scriptures&#x2F;bofm&#x2F;alma&#x2F;40?lang=eng" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lds.org&#x2F;scriptures&#x2F;bofm&#x2F;alma&#x2F;40?lang=eng</a>
