Here's my reading list so far: 1. Principles of Likability: Skills for a Memorable First Impression, Captivating Presence, and Instant Friendships By Patrick King. I struggle with soft skills so I found it insightful without being shallow 2. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People By Stephen R. Covey. I think this predates the previous book, and it's not a "read once then forget" type of book; it's about continuous self-improvement. I got a lot from it, didn't enjoy the religious/spiritual overtones but I will come back to this one 3. The Algorithm Design Manual By Steven S Skiena. I'm halfway through; I found the first chapter dense but the rest are very approachable (go figure). I don't have a CS degree so it helps to see problems classified into "this or that problem can be approached with X algo"; some of this stuff I've worked through already but now I have a name for a lot of these things. Definitely highly recommend this if like me you don't have a CS education and occasionally wonder what the gap is between you and CS graduates (IMO not much unless they really grok graphs). I wish I had read it the second year of my career, but better late than never
