"Rather than spending hours watching television or playing sports as a kid, Snowden fell in love with books, especially Greek mythology."

"'I remember just going into those books, and I would disappear with them for hours,' he says. Snowden says reading about myths played an important role growing up, providing him with a framework for confronting challenges, including moral dilemmas. 'I think that's when I started thinking about how we identify problems, and that the measure of an individual is how they address and confront those problems,' he says."
