Q: What book have you found most inspiring, what effect did it have on you?
DHH: Probably the most powerful books I’ve read have been the great Stoic works. Meditations, On The Shortness of Life and The Manual by Epictetus. They all revolve around the concept of separating perception and reaction, and I’ve found that level of control of your own mind very inspiring. – source

Pound for pound probably the best book I’ve read… check out the “Art Of Living” edition. – source
