Ask HN: Great books you read in 2018?

The book that made the most impact on me is Tara Westwood’s Educated: it is insane how different people’s worldview is.

Breaking Negative Thinking Patterns - a Schema Therapy Self-help and Support Book

Short and effective (although it's no substitute for a proper therapist). Well, provided that you can take a step back to get over yourself and be brutally honest about your flaws, and do the exercises even when some may feel silly.

Helped me identify the causes of a number of problems of the "why do I keep doing this to myself?" kind. Arguably that is the most important step, since that it is required finally start properly dealing with them. I'm in a much better place thanks to that.

It’s an honest look at the life of a startup founder, but without all that self-congratulatory stuff and bragging you often find in these books. I would say it is a definite read for anyone thinking about joining the crazy world of startups.
