Good books for High School graduates [View all]

My nephew is graduating high school this month and I'd like to buy him a book as part of a gift.

Nothing political. Just something about how to live a good life. Also, even though this is the fiction forum, please feel free to chime in with non-fiction, too.

One book I'm thinking about is: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

But I'd love to hear other suggestions? What book do you wish you had read when you were 18?
