Hey you awesome people!

I'm looking into new books to read, both fictional and non-fictional and was hoping the amazing community here could help out.
That's why my question is:

what are the best non-tech books that have made you a better developer(and person in general)?

In my case, it's:

  • Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman - a book that talks about mental heuristics. It really made me a more critical-thinking person. My summary from a developer's perspective can be seen in this video:
  • Atomic Habits by James Clear - the book that made me improve my life in general, both coding and non-coding part. It gives great advice on how to build good habits. My summary from a developer's perspective can be seen in this video:
  • So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport - a book that helped me to form a mindset that's been helping me throughout my career. Put in the hours, work hard, FOCUS. Become so good they can't ignore you.

So, what's your take on the matter :)?


Oh and...! If you are interested in coding, growth mindset and are willing to share your experiences, ideas, then please do PM me on Twitter :)!
