Hey Jonas,

There are sooo many things to say from those different books, I'll give you the top 3 ideas :

  • Our skills, mindset, abilities are limitless, whether you consider it for software development, or personal development or any crazy and (seemly) daunting topic, you can master and grow your skills to any level.

  • Don't just focus on input, or be a "forever student". So, watching and learning from someone else is great, but, you really need to produce an output from what you are learning. Input -> Analysis - Output -> Reflect. Repeat!

  • To maximize your impact you need to collaborate, you need the people! Do you want to make your knowledge/project/ideas/etc impactful? Then you need to know how to reach out to people and collaborate with as many as you can.

You wanna try a book, my recommendation: Mindset by Carol Dweck.

Cheers.
