Hello everyone!

I'm looking for two book recommendations:

an "entry" book into SciFi. Something that is easy readable. I prefer sth. "positive" or utopian.
A similar book like "48 rules of power" but without the Machiavellian touch and the religious touch of "How to win Friends and Influence People". Maybe there is something more "universal" available on how to connect to people on a respectful level.

Not exactly utopian, but the Murderbot Diaries are a great and easy read. Not exactly SciFi, but ditto Terry Pratchett's disc world books.
I personally found this to be very impactful (in a good way): "How to Listen: Tools for Opening Up Conversations When It Matters Most" by Katie Colombus
