It's funny that you all say that about 7 Habits. It's the hardest for me to get through. I only got through the first chapter and I haven't learned anything that I can really use.
FAW is great for case studies of other startups (both successful and otherwise).
HTWF I've also only gone through the first chapter but I've gotten a lot more out of it than 7 Habits.
- edw519 19y agoI love the whole self-help genre. I love anything that helps people to think more positively. For many people, that's half the battle. I just don't think that hackers are affected nearly as much as others. Do affirmations, examine past lives, move your body, make lists, think good thoughts, everything will be alright, etc., etc., etc. All good stuff. The problem is that it's just too easy to get caught up "doing all that good stuff" that you lose focus from your project. OK, I'll compromise a little. Read HTWF and Think and Grow Rich. Then get back to work.
