Same and also Man’s Search For Meaning. Really puts modern life into perspective.
This is probably triggering for some people one of the points of it to confront the worst aspects of humanity and how you can come back from it. I hesitate to recommend it as it is very difficult to read for many (all?) people.

I read them both after reading some people saying they changed their lives on reddit. Siddhartha had some effect on my I still can’t pin down, bit changed how I looked at my life.
Anything by Hesse is a great read, and fairly short. Demian, Steppenwolf, Journey to the East… It’s all good, all has good themes and messages, all very compelling.
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. I read it every 5 years or so. A quick read that changed my perspective on suffering and seeking truth.
