Recommended to me by my friend Brian Arbogast, who originally got the recommendation from former manager Blake Irving.  

A nice, simple, yet deep set of tools for noticing, investigating, honoring, and not being controlled by, your own BS.

Great new book by Michael Lopp (rands).  I love his humour, storytelling, and mastery of the simple memorable rule of thumb.  A nice read for anyone involved in managing technical people.

Timeless wisdom from the leading thinkers on how to remake how we make things.

Seminal book on evolutionary acceleration and how it shows up in everything in our lives.  

Fantastic examples of how visuals matter.  I wish I could draw.

Great exposition of why and how Wikipedia and other collaborative phenomena work.

A thought provoking little book from my longtime guru Gerald M. Weinberg .

I was on staff at the Power Lab for many years, and have to cite Barry Oshry’s work as being absolutely critical for anyone who really wants to have an impact in larger systems.  In particular, middle managers need to read and fully grok the cautionary tale of “being torn”.
