Here's my list:
1. Sprint by Jake Knapp | This book gave me a design framework like none other + made me a designer.
2. The Power of Moments by Chip & Dan Heath | It changed my outlook on life and experiences. Plus, one of the most important lessons on experience design can be found in here.
3. Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kelon | Shortest book, biggest impact. The books talks about stealing influences from people who have made it but in style.
4. Linchpin by Seth Godin | Challenges every existing schema of one's professional existence 💥

1. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho | It taught me to always chase my dreams and see the world as alive with possibility. 2. Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl | A profound lesson in finding meaning and purpose even amidst extreme suffering. 3. Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman | Completely changed how I think about thinking and opened my eyes to the many cognitive biases that shape our behavior. 4. The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu | Ancient wisdom on living with simplicity, patience, compassion and in harmony with the Tao. Grounds me whenever life feels chaotic.
@oliviajanemitchell I have the first two but yet to pick these up.
3rd sounds interesting. Does it follow the Ikigai route? 🤔
