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.

    Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design 10th edition

    Sigh… kind of wish it wasn’t.

      Why? Shigley’s is awesome. I still refer to my heavily tabbed copy at work on occasion.

        I agree that its a fantastic resource. But the only times that book gets opened is when I’m about to make my brain hurt bigly and it makes me regret choosing mechanical eng just a liiiiiitle bit.
