Thé Essential Reading List for Entrepreneurs and Start-ups

We try to learn as much as we can and gain insight into as many things as are important for our business. At the office we all love books and share them and exchange tips or highlight pasages.

I decided to start a list of essential books every entrepreneur should read. I’m hoping that other people will add their books to the list and I’ll discover a few books I didn’t know yet. Here is the list:

reading-list-for-entrepreneurs-and-start-ups

When you add a book it would be nice to point it to the right Amazon page.

    Hey Boris - great call! My essential book is ‘The Beermat Entrepreneur’. It’s a fast read with a lot of interesting points.

    Cheers,

    Hi Edgar, Listible removed the list. I asked them why but haven’t received a reply yet. I guess they didn’t like the fact that the books were linking to Amazon with a referal code…

    Hi Boris,
    Good initiative, pitty that has been cancelled by listable. My two cents:
    - loosing my virginity, autobio of Richard Branson.
    - the emyth revisited, Michael Gerber. Brilliant book on how to make your startup a machine that can run without you.
    - the world is flat, by friedman. read it and recognize global opportunities.

    Essential reading:

    The E-myth Revisited (I know someone already said this book, but it really is great. I get all my clients to read it.
