"Zero to One" by Peter Thiel is a must-read for tech entrepreneurs, offering unique insights into building a successful startup. "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries is another essential, teaching how to innovate more effectively and efficiently.

I recently finished a great book: The Storyteller’s Start-Up Book: Finding, Learning, Performing and Using Folktales by Margaret Read MacDonald. I really enjoyed it because it offers a unique perspective on startups, focusing on storytelling as a key skill for entrepreneurs. MacDonald shares practical startup knowledge on finding stories, analyzing them, and connecting with others. The book covers all the practical aspects of startups, from selection to performance, and helps build confidence. Plus, MacDonald includes 12 multicultural tales that are truly inspiring. For tech entrepreneurs, this book is a refreshing take on how to communicate your ideas effectively and connect with your audience. It’s a must-read if you want to add a creative edge to your business skills. For more insights, you might want to check out some other book reviews.

I don't really have a favourite but "The Lean Startup" and "The Art Of Start" are 2 of my favourites. One other interesting book I read is "Algorithms to live by" even if it is not really scoped on entrepreneurship.

My favorite topic heh! 😆 I would say it depends on the phase of your startup. My all-time favorite book that I always recommend everyone to read is the "Innovator's Dilemma" by Clayton Christensen. My second favorite is "Competing against luck" by, you guessed it, Clayton. You might be able to tell I love his work lol. One MAJORLY underrated book is "The Great CEO Within" by Matt Mochary.
