    Entrepreneurship is tough. Full of emotions and obstacles to tackle along the way. Mental strength is key during this journey. Do you have any readings to suggest, that changed the way you think/approach? I'll share a couple of my favorites: - The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg - Grit, Angela Duckworth

    Andrew Chen - Cold Start Problem. Great writeup of use cases for building networked products. And since its 2022 Social+ is a must-have IMO https://amzn.to/3KQXIPV

    Deep Work by Cal Newport ๐Ÿ’ฏ Really helps with getting more done while simultaneously having more peace of mind. Can only recommend reading it and applying some of the concepts to your daily routines :)

    @phil_schwengel I love this suggestion. A lot of people spend their time doing small admin tasks and they think that being busy means that they are going in the right direction. However, a lot of innovation comes from uninterrupted deep work. I think more people, especially in startups should read this book
    Philipp Schwengel
    @sherzod_khoshimov Completely agree. And there's also something about the satisfaction you get from your work. After a day of unnecessary meetings, Slack and email responding, one doesn't feel fulfilled and that one achieved something. When allocating small chunks of the day (even 90 min) and dedicate them to uninterrupted deep-work, it will do wonders about your satisfaction :)

    Great discussion! I prefer Ryan Holiday books. He wrote about stoicism at most, but also about growth hacking techniques.

    Definitely Rework written by co-founder of Basecamp ๐Ÿ” It is a very easy-to-read playbook in a form of short and sharp chapters on different business-related topics.

    I loved Guy Raz's book โ€” How I Built This. Coming out of Guy's popular HIBT podcast, he recently released this book โ€” which focuses on the major lessons and themes he's seen in his podcast. Super inspiring content. I'd also highly recommend the How I Built This podcast ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Haven't seen this one recommended often, but I really enjoyed reading Not for Bread Alone by Konosuke Matsushita

    Being an entrepreneur means having to find a balance between wealth and happiness - two things that are important for anyone in business. Among the books I've read, The Almanac of Naval Ravikanth is my favorite so far. And for a changed way of thinking and approach is Zero to One by Peter Thiel.
