Square
“I talked to my YC lecturer in 2014 about how to operate. They can be as simple as the now somewhat famous in technology smoothie test, which is, we used to have engineers work pretty hard at Square and pretty late.”

The Upside of Stress
“So the number one one is called The Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal, Professor at Stanford. And basically it argues in an incredibly compelling way that if you want to be happy, healthy, or wealthy, you need more stress in your life, not less. So it's magic. The evidence she marshals is effectively uncritiquable at the outcome level, at the biochemical level. It is transformative to people to read this book, so I highly recommend it.”

On references specifically, I think a general arc that's pretty good is asking the person, what would lead to this person being most successful?
