The best books in the past decade, that's a hard one! It's also hard to pinpoint what I learned where, but I'll just list the most memorable ones. I read a lot of software engineering books to learn language X or technology Y. But that's just o'reilly books and probably not that interesting to list here. - Jobs by Walter Isaacson. To learn about the Apple and Steve Jobs himself. I thought it was great - Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It's older than a decade (about 4 decades old actually) but I only read it a few years ago when I studied philosophy and it left quite an impression on me, food for thought. - The Dip. It's motivational, I think back on it every now and then when pushing myself through a rough patch in the gym or professionally. - Turing's Cathedral, it's a history of computers basically. Recommended if you're into software/computers.
