Ask HN: Books on specific topics that have applied to many areas of your life?
<i>The Fountainhead</i> and <i>Atlas Shrugged</i> by Ayn Rand.<p>These two books taught me the importance of being true to one's values and not sacrificing them under any circumstances. They introduced me to Individualism and Objectivism which have profoundly impacted the way I look at the world.
