Reading Antifragile by Nassim Taleb was eye-opening for me. I turn to the concepts of the book whenever I feel unsure about a decision or opinion.

The Jedi Code: A Manual for Students of the Force. I am lucky enough to have a copy which been passed from master to student, and many annotations have been added to enrich, update or contest the material in the book, which really widens the perspective. Sadly, a section near the front of the book has been ripped out, I’m guessing that one of my predecessors wanted to scan the section regarding the Prophecy of the Chosen One - probably to email a PDF of it to Master Windu!
