    For me, it will be - Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. The book has helped me to understand the world a little bit better and make me rethink a lot of topics. Which one is your favorite?

    "The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers." Ben Horowitz I read it years ago and still under impression.

    Tough to say. "How to Win Friends & Influence People" IMO is a classic and should give you a good foundation in life, communication & relationships - which are key to any business. I'm also launching SaaS Bookshelf soon, a curated list of 100+ books with key takeaways for founders. Thought this might be useful to the readers here!

    "What they don't teach you at Harvard Business School" by Mark McCormack. Everything you need to know about how to do business as told by the founder of IMG, one of the largest sports management firms in the world. I always suggest this book for salespeople to read. In my opinion, you only need this to understand sales and how to do business.

    "Mastery" by Robert Greene. I really believe that it will help you understand all about passion, find yours and actually start working towards becoming a master in it. If you ask me, achieving the above can be pretty satisfying :) @balkrishna_karma1 I've only heard about the book recommended, but still haven't tried it. Definitely on my list!

    Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss It completely changes my view about negotiation. I thought of negotiation as two business people trying to close a deal with compromises or an employee getting a higher salary. In reality, we negotiate when interacting with people, whether getting a hotel upgrade or asking for a discount. The best part about negotiation is that it's a learned skill. So long as you put enough reps in, you will be decent at it.

    I've read 320 books in the last 3.5 years, and I've got so many to recommend on many different topics from leadership to behavioral psychology to self-help. Malcolm Gladwell, Jocko Willink, Simon Sinek, Eric Barker, and David Goggins are all solid authors to start with!

    Atomic habits is a life-changing book for me. The book does a great job explaining that success depends so much on these small habits that we do every day, no matter who we are and what our goals are. It really helped me to overcome my depression-like feelings and procrastination. That is why I intend to read this book once a year, to remind myself that little changes can make big differences over time. And I just keep recommending it to everyone.
