The book that really made an impact for me was Nelson Mandela's A Long Walk to Freedom.

Not just because it's a fantastic story of struggle but it is also truly inspirational.

If a man can study law in a 6x6ft prison cell, then I can refactor that piece of code I've been avoiding.

That's really a awesome book. I heard about him through the autobiography from Richard Branson.

On how VirginActive was created on the behalf of saving a national chain from bankruptcy which Nelson Mandela approached to Sir Richard to take over and help save the business.
