The five must-read books that ignite entrepreneurial spirits among business mavericks

Hey friends! One of the most important methods through which you can learn how other entrepreneurs went about it, as well as learn about possible sources of inspiration and knowledge, is through reading. Here are five game-changing books I recommend every business maverick adds to their reading list:

The first one is the lean startup by Eric Reese. The modern entrepreneurship classic introduces the lean startup approach that utilizes rapid prototyping and feedback iterations obtained from the clients. This is one of the biggest game-changers involved in efficient startup building. In fact, if you are starting out a business and have a chance to read this article, be sure not to miss it!

The second book is Zero to One authored by Peter Thiels. It is different thinking that causes entrepreneurs push out of ordinary competition. Thiel asks that we look into building true monopolies instead of simply being different from our competitors. Thought-provoking stuff!

Another important reading includes Clayton Christense’s The Innovator’s Dilemma. Why Established Firms Fail at Innovating, is another book that delves deep in this area. Insightful to capture innovation in every industry and what it takes to create a frenzy, not get destroyed by one.

Try reading the autobiography, Shoe Dog, by Phil Knight for your inspiring memoir. The madness of starting Nike from ground zero is depicted in here. Such a fun read with some inspiring messages of grit and business acumen. I couldn't put it down!

Lastly, Daniel Kahneman’s psychology book, Thinking Fast and Slow cast light on human behaviour and decision making. It was not a conventional bazzzk but had so many insights about customers’ intelligence for formulating strategy. My opinion is that it’s a must-read!

Well friends, that wraps up my entrepreneurial book recommendations! Let me know if you decide to pick up any of these game-changing reads.
