In software engineering, many seem to know about Chesterton's Fence, but hardly anyone seems to know much about Chesterton. I found Orthodoxy, which many consider his best book, to help not simply with one particular topic, but just about how to question assumptions generally. It's a shame he isn't more widely read - with the exception of some passing cultural references and a dated concept here and there, much of what he writes sounds like it could have been written last week. And his approach of combining humor into everything makes the reading enjoyable, even when the topic itself is dense.
