Books that changed how you work (not the ones everyone lists)

#1

Every founder reading list has the same fifteen titles on it. This thread is for the others.

Reply with one book and three lines:

  • The book
  • What you did differently after reading it. A behaviour, not a feeling.
  • Who should skip it

It does not have to be a business book. Novels, biographies, cookbooks and manuals all count if they changed how you work. Some of the best answers to this question are books about writing, negotiation, or a completely unrelated craft.

Equally welcome: the famous book you think is overrated, with your reason. Keep it to the book.

Your perspective belongs here.
