It's a good answer, who cares where it's from?
- OJFord 4y agoThen just post it, without drawing attention to where it's from and making that the inevitable discussion?
- TillE 4y agoThe last two books are not even close to relevant to the question, they're just generic business-flavored self-help.
- groby_b 4y agoI can promise you that if you don't learn to get organized and if you don't learn to influence people, there's a ceiling to where you can go as a software engineer. I don't know if I had recommended these specific books, but they're certainly relevant. To bring this back to the main topic: For persuasion/negotiation, I prefer Stuart Diamond's "Getting More". For negotiation & communication with a power differential, I'd go for "Nonviolent communication" by Marshall/Rosenberg. (For finding an organization scheme, IDK. GTD is not the worst book. I know of none significantly better, but I also question the nature of a work environment where we drown in tasks. So, maybe Cal Newport's books instead)
