Hey, great list Liara! I would also include the Tao Te Ching in my top five.
Off the top of my head, I would say these have been most life-changing for me:
1.
Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin
2.
Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
3.
Vurt by Jeff Noon - amazing, mind-expanding sci-fi.
Coincidentally, Noon has a book called
Automated Alice. From Wikipedia: "Noon describes Automated Alice as a "trequel" - it is a companion piece of sorts to the famous Lewis Carroll books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The novella follows Alice's journey to a future Manchester populated by Newmonians, Civil Serpents and a vanishing cat named Quark."
