What books/movies/advice has transformed your life?


  👤 mindcrime Accepted Answer ✓
One book that has a profound influence on me was:

The Four Steps to the Epiphany - Steve Blank

Also looking back to my youth, I think that reading The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder was one thing that influenced me to pursue computing as a career.

Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four also helped shape my worldview in many ways.

Movies? Hmm... good question. There's no question that The Matrix has been a big influence on me on some level, but I'm not sure it reaches the level of "transformed my life".
