What to read
This morning I started to doubt the idea of recommending books to people who say they want to know more about something . This is because everyone (if genuinely interested) is perfectly capable of finding the right books himself, and the method of selection is actually very simple.
If you want to figure out a particular concept, thing or event, just go ahead and read about it. It doesn’t really matter what you read; you can read everything you find, just as long as you don’t believe everything you read.
If the points of view start to resemble one another, try to find books that have the opposite opinion. If you can’t find them, you are dealing with a taboo; try to find out why it is a taboo. If the opposite point of view is available, try to find the books expressing the opinion that is contradictory to both original opinions. Then use your common sense to come up with your own point of view, and be ready to change it at any moment.

why at all someone needs to obtain a point of view to change it then at any moment?

Having point of view does not mean does not mean having opinion…
From one point of vie you may see on the glob just USA, from the other just Brazile and so on…
Be ready to to change point of view means be ready to see and think about somethink unusual or unknown yet… Transferring globe surface to the flat map is an example of changing point of view… School education is a good example of permanently changing of point of view.
Changing of point of view does not mean changing of opinion. Changing of opinion does not mean opinion switching but opinion switching is one of the type of changing of opinion…
You do not have to obtain your own point of view, you may just use/join someone’s. Most important for human are readyness and ability to change point of view and/or opinion….
