What one book contains the most valuable lessons on government that every citizen of the country should become familiar with? The Federalist Papers? Plato’s Democracy? Seems to me that some of this stuff would be a lot more valuable than Romeo and Juliet or anne frankly’s diary or whatever passes for a civics class these days
Inb4 Starship Troopers

These books were very specific to my personal situation, so they likely don't extrapolate.
But without a doubt, these two books have had the biggest impact on changing the way I approach real life.
Perhaps a high school curriculum could have a reading list of similar Big 5 Personality Inventory books that have been vetted so that teens could pick the one most applicable or interesting to them to start "thinking about thinking".
