Ask HN: Suggest me some good books on work ethics

The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers by Robert C. Martin

It's a tough question, and I think depends a lot on what you're looking for.

For the specific case of work ethic in the sense of committing deeply to projects you believe in, then I'd point you towards "The Soul of a New Machine".

But I'm sure others see it completely different.

Interesting suggestion; thanks for this. What changes did it bring for you?

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"

It's not about Zen or motorcycle maintenance. However, it _is_ a book that will make you think about the nature of work and how one way of looking at work collides with another.

Thanks, I will give it a try again. I tried reading it years ago but didn't find it clicking.

FYI it's "work ethic", not "ethics".

Thanks.

Ray Dalio's Principles I think is an interesting read for that area.
