Ask HN: Best book you read in 2011

I highly recommend the book to anyone in any field.

along with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to work through my personal thought process.

Atlas Shrugged is a must read for any entrepreneur.

I just love this book!

It's a great account of things we know about how the mind works, with amazing insights.

It's made me think about computers in another light.

Tech: Code by Charles Petzold

old but definitely worth the read. Changes the way you look at things.

The one I've enjoyed the most, was probably "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman"

The Bible has taught me how to live life no matter how hard life is

and enjoyed those too.

"Black Swan" by N.N.Taleb. Maybe overhyped and at times annoying and pompous, but extremely insightful nevertheless.

Man's Search For Meaning by Victor Frankel.

It's a good introduction however for anyone looking to move beyond a trial and error approach to startups.

"The lean startup"

It's a really good book for starting entrepreneurs.

Don't make me think was the best book I made someone else read in 2011. It changed my boss's view of our web site, and now he's on my 'side'.
