Do you have any book recommendations?
- p0nce 7y agoYes. This is only one of these "must-read book list", what you can do is search several of them and see which ones are quoted by almost everyone! About "everything" I would rate the following books very highly, for their sheer usefulness: - Thinking Fast and Slow (really do the exercises!) - then Neuroleadership which describes the purpose of brain structures, it's somehow wider than kahneman - A Mind for Numbers (include very useful data points for knowledge workers) - Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste - Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism About programming I would rate the following books highly, but at the same time it seems a bit fruitless to me to read about programming, rather than spending more time reading about psychology or sociology: - the Economics of Software Quality - Peopleware - Pragmatic programmer - Mythical Man month ^you'll see that these books are hardly kept secret, it's just that people quote them but don't actually read them, or so it seems.
