I guess it would depend on the category, like if you are doing any sort of front-end dev then one book I'd recommend over any other is Don't make me think which is still relevant today.
For the smb/indie-hacking I think E-myth revisited really changes your whole perspective about running a small business, especially when you read yourself on the pages.
Also there is one book which I don't think everybody should read but was truly life changing for me was Driven to distraction. It helped me get a evaluation and understand that ADHD is a very real thing (real as something which Doctors can spot on a MRI and it's not something you can overcome with strong will and determination).
- hermitcrab 5y agoThe E-myth revisited seems to be one of those business books where they took something that could have been an article, or maybe even a paragraph, and dragged it out into a whole (extremely dull) book.
- harperlee 5y agoIf the book were a paragraph, you wouldn’t be exposing yourself to the idea during the X hours that it takes to read the book.
- hermitcrab 5y agoIf it is the duration/repetition that matters, couldn't I just read the same paragraph over and over? It wouldn't be any more dull than the book.
- harperlee 5y agoWhat? Three different anecdotes carry strictly more information than the same anecdote three times. Thus they are more novel and less dull. That’s even assuming no value in the new information - in reality different points of view of exactly the same model can be useful to learn it better.
- alpaca128 5y ago> ADHD is a very real thing (real as something which Doctors can spot on a MRI That always makes me wonder: why then is ADHD not tested via MRI? Wouldn't that be more reliable than the series of tests they make people fill out?
