I am looking for a dive into reason/purpose and something that will challenge my thinking.

I am not looking for an answer of read the Bible. (I have).

What are some of your favorite critical thinking; psychology-philosophy reads?

The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck is a good read. Been 20+ years since I read it, but I don't think it would be dated.

A Little History of Philosophy by Nigel Warburton

This is an introduction to the philosophies that shaped western thought.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

Frankl describes his time as a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp, and how people can find meaning in the harshest of circumstances.

Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker

This is a defense of reason, science, and humanism against the recent trend of lived experience and group identity.

Not really a book on meaning, but Thinking, Fast and Slow is a great psych book on automatic vs deliberative processing.

Can I recommend Sophie's World, by Jostein Gaarder? It's a fun, easy novel that serves as an introduction to the history of philosophy.

Something else that was a lot of fun when I read it a few years ago was Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

Since this is technically "fan fiction," it can't actually be published as a book (J.K. Rowling owns the rights to the characters), but it's brilliant, educational, and hilarious, especially if you read the real Harry Potter books.
