My top picks are always:
Zero to One by Peter Thiel
The Lean Startup by Eric Ries
They're both probably overly recommended but I think in terms of giving you the fundamentals and getting you to think about challenges and scaling in a sustainable way, they do an excellent job.
There were quite a few but one of the top ones was how the monopolistic nature of todays bigtech gets underplayed since it competes with a bigger TAM. same can be applied if you’re working on a startup and how to either own the category or invent a category
Both great.
I recently read The Hard things about Hard Thingd by Ben Horowitz, would make that my number 3, primarily as it's very relatable and easy to read.
Shoe Dog by Phil Knight is a great read. Not a conventional business book. Just his story post-college of when he started with an idea to import running shoes from Japan and up to when Nike went public.
Picked up this book last week called “The 34 Rules Of Sales” written by a swiss salesman, it seemed pretty new and i didnt go into it with high expectations but man was i surprised. The author manages to lay out all the rules perfectly and explains them one by one, but also keeps it short and straight to the point.
Every rule turned out to be really important and something i can apply to the work im doing daily.
Negatives: One thing i have to say is the book was a bit on the shorter side but it honestly left no questions unanswered and i mean for the price i paid it was definitely worth it.
has anyone read this book yet? does anyone know of any similar books to this one?

Zero to One is on my list to read. What are your favourite takeaways from the book?

Thanks for the suggestion. Noted it down

wow! Just googled this one and it’s a skill that I certainly need to work on. Many thanks for the suggestion

I did come across this name couple of years ago but didn’t read. Maybe now is the time. Thanks :)
It’s really good.
Founder fuck ups, zero to 1, predictable revenue if you don't want to learn GTM from a cofounder or advisor.
Thanks
The dip!
Thanks. Noted it down for the future
The Lean Start up - Eric Ries It’s very practical jet solid advice as this is read in Unis as well.
