These are the timeless skills I wish I’d learned in school, and the resources I recommend to learn them.
A personal reading list of books, videos, and articles on soft skills — negotiation, habits, philosophy, personal finance, and entrepreneurship. This is one developer's curated self-improvement syllabus, not a codebase. It's a markdown file with Amazon links.
The selection is opinionated rather than exhaustive — Naval's wealth thread, Derek Sivers, Feynman technique are genuinely good picks that don't show up on every generic list. Grouping by skill domain makes it scannable. Some picks have aged well: Getting to Yes and Atomic Habits are still the standard references in their areas.
This is a README with Amazon affiliate-style links, not a project — there's nothing to run, fork, or contribute to in any meaningful way. The list hasn't been touched since late 2025 and shows its age in places (Four Hour Work Week, Think and Grow Rich). No annotations explaining why each pick made the cut, so it reads like a dump rather than a recommendation. 354 stars for a markdown file suggests people star lists reflexively, not because this one is exceptional.
