This book is a must-read for any software engineer.

I remember reading this book before turning 23, The book seems like a self-help book but the ideas in it are pretty universal, one of them being the importance of upbringing in shaping one's mindset, after reading it, I was on the path towards a point where I would start questioning and doubting my deeply held beliefs.

Throughout this book Marcus tries to tell us that we should not take the world's imperfections too seriously, and more importantly to not take ourselves too seriously and at the same time try our hardest to become the best that we can be, Marcus's writing might be interpreted as depressing, but Marcus is in no way trying to portray life as being pointless he just understands that there are more important things in life that bring more fulfillment and that we should not waste our time on trivial things. Marcus has mastered the most important tool that we have in our disposal, our Mind. the book does come with a “GOD(s)” theme in it, but that shouldn't discourage thinkers from reading it, this man's insight is valuable nonetheless.
