    since you put carnegie's book, then you must read it's companion, the 7 habits

    1. 2

      Amen! 7 habits is brilliant, a game-changer!

  2. 4

    For indiehackers specifically, I found The Millionaire Fastlane to be invaluable. Its title is as cheesy as 4HWW, but don't let that put you off it. It's the most practical book on bootstrapping I've ever read and I've read about 40 so far.

  3. 2

    Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.
    It's about intuitive vs statistical thinking. I had a great time reading it

  4. 2

    Recently loved "The Messy Middle" by Scott Belsky.

  5. 2

    One that I have read recently is 'Built to sell' by John Warrillow, really good read for creating a scalable business that you can one day sell. Provides some really great advice on how to grow as a company.

  6. 2

    The subtle art of not giving f*ck

  7. 2

    Recently: Anna Karenina, The Brothers Karamazov, Music and the Brain, Hooked, Our Mathematical Universe :)

  8. 2

    Data books:
    Data to the People
    Weapons of Math Destruction
    Invisible Women

    Business:
    Lean Startup
    Rework

    Self growth:
    Comfortable with Uncertainty

    Halfway through Range which just came and I'm digging it so far

    • "Thank You For Arguing" by Jay Heinrichs - this is the one book that i gift to people that i know - it teaches you to persuade others, which i find to be an invaluable skill.
    • "Will It Fly?" by Pat Flynn
    • "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport
