What book changed your life? Permanently?

I'm probably like most people, I own a bunch of books, lots of life advice stuff...but I haven't found a book that I literally follow, like as a guideline for everything I do.

What book do you basically treat like a bible? Your go-to for a reminder about something, or the one that you can attribute a lot of your success to perhaps?

Doesn't have to be life, can be fitness, a hobby you have, biography, exploration and discoveries, history, war, crime, finance etc

Are you using logical fallacies in crime scene investigation given that it is your job to initially suspect without proof?

How do logical fallacies go in, say, a CSI case?

Wouldn't they be hitting every single one?

"This person knows them, so they are a suspect."

"Person A is too young to steal a car, therefore we can rule that out."

"That person doesn't own a dog so those bite marks are from something else."

"Person B is allergic to nuts so they couldn't have stolen them."

What do you say as a critical thinker about these? You would think someone in a normal day to day conversation could not possibly get away with such statements. Is crime different because it's more important? Or is it down to saving time because your suspicions have much greater weight in helping solve the crime?
