Letters to a Young Scientist by Edward O. Wilson
4.0

While I do agree with other reviews that some parts of this book were overly focused on biology to be very useful to the general young scientist, most of the book was geared generally towards any young aspiring scientist. I feel more secure in my desire to be involved in the sciences after having read this book, and I feel powerful and curious just as I do when learning about something I'm intensely interested in.
Any person in the sciences, especially those just entering the professional/academic side of science, might benefit from reading this book, and I would personally recommend it.
