The question I get most often in my DMs is: "Will you invest in my company?"

But a close #2 is for book recommendations...

Here are 11 of my favorite business books, each one is worth reading twice👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

1/ The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: A New Paradigm for Sustainable Success

This book changed my life.
2/ Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion

A must read for anyone who's job depends on persuasion. That's everyone BTW.
3/ Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days

@jesslivingston wrote this book and founded Y Combinator. It's a case study in high growth startups.
4/ The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers

One of my favorite memoirs, documenting a startup rollercoaster from beginning to end.
5/ Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike

Another startup story, but about one of the most recognizable brands on earth.
6/ High Output Management

The OG book on startup management. You've learned concepts from it even if you haven't read it.

I coach my team with its lessons daily.
7/ The Great CEO Within: The Tactical Guide to Company Building

@mattmochary is the go to guy for helping CEOs scale their leadership. This book is the next best thing to hiring him yourself.

It started as a doc that was just passed around the inner circles of Silicon Valley.
8/ Sam Walton: Made In America

An inspiring story of one of the greatest entrepreneurs in American history.
9/ Double Your Profits: In Six Months or Less

Sounds corny, but a really helpful book when you're looking to improve your business.
10/ Losing My Virginity: How I Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way

Every great founder I know has read and loved @richardbranson's first memoir. It's inspiring, educational, and entertaining all in one book.
11/ The Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEOs and Their Radically Rational Blueprint for Success

A masterclass in capital allocation and being a CEO. Not as well known as the others, but equally valuable.
