   I would advice you to read Software Craftsman by Sandro Mancuso. In one of the chapters he explains that enjoyment of life is really essential.

   We live in times where "rat race" is so prevalent we forget to take a step back and think about "what is really important".

   I would advice reading "Software Craftsman" by Sandro Mancuso. It contains a chapter about hiring "craftsmen" (best kind of developers).

   And many things from the article check out in regards to that.

   This year I read "Clean Coder" by Robert Martin and "The Software Craftsman: Professionalism, Pragmatism, Pride" by Sandro Mancuso.

   They were both excellent and I recommend them to any programmer who wants to improve his or her Engineering professionalism and craft. Don't be a "coder," be a professional Software Engineer. Take pride in your work, do your best work possible, and stand up to insane, unrealistic management.

   1. "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. Gave me a better perspective on how to tackle my bad habits like endless watching YouTube after work, drinking too much coffee etc.

   2. "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy. Sold me on the idea of positive thinking, but generally I found the book crappy.

   3. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. The only nover on the list. Definitely a good read.

   4. "The Pragmatic Programmer". I fell in love with the idea of "the network" of views and controllers.

   5. "The Software Craftsman" by Sandro Mancuso. Great one. Made me recosinder a few (quite a few!) things in my workflow and project.

   6. "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. Amazing one. Can't wait for Monday to implement some at work. I even ordered 3 more copies for my team.

   For writing clean code, I highly recommend Uncle Bob's "Clean Code":

   Give them a free copy of Clean Code[1], I started to care about my code more after I read that book.

   You cannot sit and review each commit, the best you can do is to make them care about code.
