 A few books come to mind, I hope they help.
1. The road less traveled (Honestly, I think GOD wrote it)for spiritual growth
2. The DA VINCI CODE by Dan Brown for intriguing mystery
3. A MAP OF THE WORLD by jane Hamiltion for a diversification of lifestyles
4. The MAGIC OF THINKING BIG by David J. Schwartz, Ph.D. for a different ways to be successful.
Great question; to be able to see different cultures.
Sincerely
