The Kingdom of God Is Within You by Leo Tolstoy
5.0
Did I just become an anarchist?
This is a book I think everyone should read, but with the warning that it's like Pandora's box, once you open it there's no putting everything back inside. This book clearly and logically explains that the time for government and organized religion has had its time and place which are now both past, and that the singular way forward is with an ironclad commitment to love and nonviolence.
The subtitle of this book really puts it best. You won't find any mysticism or even any spirituality in this book, only an explanation for why nobody can make sense of our modern society anymore, a new way of seeing the world, and a path for making it fair and uplifting for everyone.
