Same here - Zero to one - really inspiring book!

And Lean startup - far too ambitious for me at the moment, but I learned a lot from it.

4 hour work week - I would say it’s more like a fiction book, but still fun to read.

7 habits of highly effective people - it’s saved my life in high school, I knew some parts of it by heart.

I share your taste in books. 7 Habits in particular absolutely changed my life. I’ve always thought that its title doesn’t really do it justice. There is a lot more depth to that book than you’d think based on the title alone. It has helped set my moral compass.

Lean startup is a recent discovery for me - and boy do I wish I’d read it sooner!

Edit: also I highly recommend Stephen Covey’s audiobooks of 7 Habits and First Things First (read by him)

yep, funny how I wanted to post these exact 3 books (should grab the 4th one soon), I've bought them all at once, perhaps we've read the same blog post that recommended them?
