I devoured all of Joel on Software and Kathy Sierras Creating Passionate Users.
This was my favourite one on avoiding mediocrity. It crosses my mind at least weekly over a decade later!

- jonnytran 5y agoI second both of these. Even though they write a lot about tech, you can replace the specific technologies with the modern day equivalent and it's still relevant. For a lot of the topics, I haven't come across anything else that better articulates it. The next level is getting into the mind of Kathy Sierra. The idea that helping people become passionate -- or badass, as she later rewords -- is an end in itself. This isn't just about tech.
