Essentialism by Greg McKeown

Outwitting the devil by Napoleon Hill. The Audible version is an epic adventure, https://amzn.to/3R3qJtf. (affiliate quicklinx) Extreme Ownership by Jako W. The Art of Impossible by Steven C. A trifecta!

For me as a startup founder Steven Levy's books were amazing. The ones like "Hackers" are inspirational, while his Facebook and Google books explore the companies' early days with a better eye for detail than most. He tends to actually analyze the strategic decisions that made them. A highly, highly recommended author.

Good question. Books about psychotherapy! That's really weird shit I've ever read but it changed my vision of people, society and myself. Yes, it can be boring and incomprehensible but absolutely helpful for self-development. If you don't want to dig inside so deep you can read "Transactional analysis" by Eric Berne.

For me personally, it's one I wouldn't recommend anymore, but at the time when I got my hands on it, it was a total life-changer: Awaken The Giant Within by Tony Robbins. (I cringe a bit when I write this.) I think there's much better books if you want to change your life, but the truth is, at the time when the book fell into my hands, I found the life lessons I needed most urgently in there.

Definitely, "Rich Dad Poor Dad", it just totally changes, ..., I don't want to say overall, but almost all my mind

Masters of Doom by David Kushner. The crazy hustle that went into making cult classics such as Doom and Quake.

Island by Aldous Huxley is one that changed (or validated) my worldview. The hard thing about hard things by Ben Horowitz is a hell of a ride if you plan to know what to prepare for in detail as you scale your business. I hope you have some time for them!
