"The best book anyone's ever recommended to me to read, which I now recommend to others, is The Purpose Driven Church by a pastor called Rick Warren. Emmett Shear, the CEO at Twitch, used to basically make sure that people read it. It's this wild examination of why people emotionally invest in something and how to engineer emotional investment into it from a group of people. Definitely worth a read if you're in a community product of any form."

"If you're looking for kind of like fiction or fantasy, which is where I tend to go in the evening, Babel by R.F. Kuang."

"Not to be clichéd, but The Hard Thing About Hard Things I still think is the best book written about product management — just from a breadth of things that you have to go through and try and do and screw up a lot."
