Best books for founders that aren't "business" books

byFeatured•4yr ago

What are the best books you've read that help you in your work, but aren't necessarily 'business' books? I'm reading Imperium by Robert Harris, a historical novel about the life of Ancient Roman statesman, Cicero, and it's an incredible insight into communication, strategy and creativity. What would you recommend?

Daniel Kahneman's 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' is such a wonderful book, helping one to understand how complex the human decision-making process is... and how it can be attuned to certain preferences. Really helpful for Founders as all of them need some sort of behavioural change in users to adopt new products :)

Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink. In my experience this has truly laid foundation on owning your space, your problems and team you work with. Life changing book.

@sadirdin_tojiboev This was an easy read and good for building intuition around creating products that get people coming back for more. Was a bit light on detail though...
