Came here to mention that I thought Christensen was absent from the list, but thought your Ecclesiastes (which can be found in just about every Jewish or Christian Bible) recommendation was inspired.

Ecclesiastes talks so much about the rhythms of life and the benefits of gaining knowledge and then using knowledge, the benefits of working hard and celebrating accomplishment. When I look at our various economic cycles, especially periods of innovation followed by periods of consolidation in tech, I can see a lot to draw from Ecclesiastes. I'll be pondering it more!
