Why people recommend it
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse is a philosophical novel that follows a young man's spiritual journey of self-discovery in ancient India. Robin Sharma recommended the book on Modern Wisdom while discussing the power of fasting, and Lex Fridman called it an incredible book on the Lex Fridman Podcast. David Blaine mentioned on On Purpose with Jay Shetty and The Tim Ferriss Show that receiving the book from his mother at age 11 introduced him to the character's fasting practices, which inspired him at a young age. Andrew Callaghan told Lex Fridman that reading Siddhartha initiated his early exploration of Eastern philosophy and psychedelic culture. Matt Mullenweg mentioned on The Tim Ferriss Show that it is a book worth rereading over the years. John Vervaeke shared on the same show that reading it at age 15 was a formative experience that blew him open, and Ryan Holiday noted its philosophical truths on The Daily Stoic.

“Unfortunately, it was the kind of meditative path or the eastern path that I took and fused that with psychedelic culture in Seattle that took me down the psychedelic use rabbit hole in the first place. So, (chuckles) I'd say it all started with "Siddhartha". - "Siddhartha". That's a good book.”
