When I was in college, I read what is still one of the most impactful books of my life: Material World by Peter Menzel. What was most impactful about this book to me was that it was mostly images depicting the possessions of people all over the world, outside of their homes. This made it both visibly impactful (since I could no longer ignore the huge difference between even what I owned as a scraping-by college student and what people in developing nations possessed) but also spiritually impactful, as I read about the families and how they made do with so little.
