Neil DeGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist, director of the Hayden Planetarium

“Gulliver's Travels” by Jonathan Swift

Tyson calls this satirical-fiction novel written in 1726 the best work of all time. An astrophysicist and author of scientific books noted that he often reflects on his unusual characters.

“I will always remember the ‘misguided’ scientists of the Grand Academy in Lagado on the floating island of Laputa, who wasted so many natural resources trying to answer the wrong questions about nature,” Tyson said in one of his interviews.

Bill Gates, Founder Microsoft and philanthropist

“The Best Angels of Our Nature” by Stephen Pinker

Co-founder of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation appreciates this work.

“This book exposes violence and paints a wonderful picture of the world, which has evolved over time and has become a place where violence is becoming less common. The book offers a really fresh look at how to benefit in the modern world, ”Gates wrote in his blog.

Malala Yusufzai, a female education activist, the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate

“The Alchemist” Paulo Coelho

The world learned about 15-year-old Yusufzai, who advocated equal opportunities for the education of women, when she was shot and seriously wounded by Taliban fighters. Yusufzai reads a lot. She calls Paulo Coelho’s novel “The Alchemist” a book that brings hope.

“The story of a boy who goes on a journey to find a treasure, but instead learns a lot from the people he meets, is inspiring. Injustice is described in such a way that it remains in the memory for a long time, and this encourages us to try to fix everything. That’s why the book is so powerful,” says Yousafzai.
