Atomic Habits

Atomic Habits

This is a wonderful book for anyone to read, and would be a great gift. I think there's something in here for everyone to benefit from. Not only is it about forming good habits and breaking out of bad habits, but compounding on forming habits. I went in with zero knowledge or intention but it actually helped break me out of a bad habit I had for 25 years.

The Staff Engineer's Path

The Staff Engineer's Path

I think I preferred this over "Staff Engineer", but I recommend reading both. It really solidified my understanding of what a Staff Engineer is, how they should work, what they should work on, and manage their time.
