Since you're here, I'm sure you will enjoy "Product-led Growth" by Wes Bush as much as I do. I read it twice in a row. It's super helpful and actionable.

Some of my favorites in 2019:
- Lost and founder by Rand Fishkin (Moz's founder)
- Start small, stay small by Rob Walling (Drip's founder)
- Make by Pieter Levels
- Deep work by Cal Newport
