I would say The Lean Startup, Zero to One, and HOOKED (by Nir Eyal) changed my mind, but it's more like it FREED my mind.
As someone coming from a software developer background it's really hard not to get caught up in the little details all the time

@manjur_ahmed1 yeah exactly, Zero to One especially gives you that visionary mindset to really build something big π
I really need to read Hooked it was recommended by so many people already π
