Ha! Just had that binge too... ... Here's what I like: On the business end: - Badass by Kathy Sierra - Impossible to Inevitable by Aaron Ross - Traction by Gabriel Weinberg - Cold Calling Early Customers by Robert Graham - Learn or Die by Edward Hess On "refining your thought process": - Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley - Racing Towards Excellence by Jan Sramek - Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin - Case Interview Secrets by Victor Cheng (helps you think in a nice, structured way)

I very much wish I would have read the below books in (or pre) high school. I'm not sure if they have the same effect on everyone, but for me they were huge in redefining elements of my life that needed to be fixed/unlearned/enhanced. All related to having a passion for learning and life in general: "Art of Learning" by Josh Waitzkin "Mastery" by George Leonard "A Mathematician's Lament" by Paul Lockhart "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman" by Richard Feynman
