If you want to focus more on solopreneurship/indie making I would add MAKE book (by Levelsio) and Zero to Sold (by Arvid Kahl).
WorkHub
The Lean Startup: How Constant Innovation Creates Radically Successful Businesses by Eric Ries. This book details how to create and maintain a successful business in the startup world. It covers customer development, rapid experimentation, iteration, and the importance of data-driven decision-making. It is an essential read for entrepreneurs looking to stay competitive and take their businesses to the next level.
Optimized Toolbox
Go for Inspired or Empowered by Marty Cagan. It's explaining how great product companies work and what makes them successful.
I would recommend
Hey, Whipple, Squeeze This: The Classic Guide to Creating Great Ads
It's a great book for every entrepreneur who starts to promote their products/services. The voice is so friendly and the examples are also very practical as well. I took some advice from this book to set up social media channels for my product - Petgotchi!
profit first
Yes, Profit First is a great book by Mike Michaelowiz. Marketing differently is also a really good book by Mike. Definitely worth reading.
Zero to one by Peter Thiel. If you don't know who Peter is, just google him. He has all the credentials to talk about startups.
I would recommend Lean Startup, great book
Agree Josh. It was a trendsetter for lean startup movement. Other good books in the series include Lean Product Playbook by Dan Olsen and Ash Maurya's book
