Ask HN: What's one book that changed your life?

Course that book and Kevin Kelly post bubble were roundly criticized. But looking back he got most of it right. Sadly he stopped writing for quite a few years. That book motivated me that I was doing the right thing. That startup failed, but the next one didn't.

He was a badass, grew up in South Central, would ride his bike to nicer areas of LA where there were tennis courts, and just hit against the wall until someone else would show up & he’d ask to play with them.

Ended up playing in High School, and getting a full ride to a DI college.

He told me that reading this book when he was trying to get scholarships to college was one of the turning points in his life and then said, “How I’m teaching you to respond to adversity on the court is preparation for the more important challenges you’ll face in your life off the court.”

To this day, I often suggest this book to anyone as it played a similar role in my life as well.

I can palpably feel my awareness expanding as I do the sentence completion exercises.

and after that i could have gotten started with the beauty and power of the internet
