I don't think people give enough credit as to how important it is to have personal connections. It's important for personal development and professional development. In that vein, I'd like to recommend "How to Win Friends and Influence People" It's short. If you follow its advice it will give you a lifetime of benefits.
"Meditations" of Marcus Aurelius is another must read. The book is full of advice on how to live your best life. It will help you now and it will help you for the rest of your life so make sure you read it.

As most HNers say, it's impressive how much hasn't changed in the last 2000 years when it comes to human nature. I think some translations are better than others though.
- jackgolding 9y agoI found meditations really dry and hard to read - are there any translations you could recommend?
- Regardsyjc 9y agoI loved the the Gregory Hays translation.
- noam87 9y agoDon't read it end-to-end like a novel. It's a great book to keep around. Open it, every once in a while (even at a random page), read a passage or two, think about it, and go on with your day. Over time the ideas seep in and really change how you approach certain aspects of life, I've found.
