Not an easy read, but it is thought provoking and will change how you architect code, least that was my experience.

Recreational lock picking? Is that what they call it now? :-) As for the physical activity, I think it's the best thing, hands down. I started biking to work recently, and find that even though it cuts half an hour out of my day, I arrive far more willing to sit down and concentrate, and the addition of an audiobook on my iPod on the way kills two birds with one stone.

I don't read that many books but I do like to redirect the mind to something different when I am feeling burnt out. I've tried recreational lock picking, mountain biking, snowboarding, and archery. All are more physical activities but they help release my mind. I will try your release and read a book. Thanks. P.S.
