Books for Builders
This is the literary toolkit I’d recommend for building:
If you want to build a great business, read High Output Management by Andy Grove.
If you want reassurance that the chaos is normal, read The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz.
If you are engineering systems that have to work away from desks, read Engineering a Safer World by Nancy Leveson.
If you spent too many years carrying heavy things and breaking yourself in the process, read Becoming a Supple Leopard by Kelly Starrett.
And obviously, read The Lord of the Rings, followed by Discworld (starting with ‘Guards! Guards!’).
You can do most things based on that list.
