Here’s a list of 5 books which are recommended by a number of entrepreneurs:

2. Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahnema
The main point of this book is to explain the dichotomy between two modes of thought: “System 1”, which is fast, instinctive, and emotional. And “System 2”, which is comparatively slower, more deliberative, and more logical.
The book summarizes several decades of research to suggest that people have too much confidence in human judgment and also, why they struggle to think statistically.
This book is widely recommended by entrepreneurs because it helps people understand the topics in behavioral science, engineering, and medicine. This book was also the New York Times bestseller and the 2012 winner of the National Academies Communication award for best creative work.
3. Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey and Rajendra Sisodia
This book combines a brief but lucid history of the capitalist system with Mackey’s sometimes-idiosyncratic interpretation of it. In one sentence, this book can be summarized as, “In the long arc of history, no human creation has had a greater positive impact on more people more rapidly than free enterprise capitalism.”
Mackey combines a strong sense of social service with the thought that there are goals beyond mere money for the successful investors.
The authors illustrate how business and capitalism when combined, can – and do – work most powerfully to create value for all stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, investors, society, and the environment.
4. An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield
Colonel Chris Hadfield had spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4000 hours in space. In his book, “An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth”, Colonel Hadfield takes the readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible.
The book is filled with eye-opening and entertaining stories describing the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of space walks, and the measured calm responses mandated by crisis.
The book is highly recommended by entrepreneurs because the book explains in most layman’s language how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement and happiness. It also tells the readers some counterintuitive lessons such as not visualizing success, do care what others think, and always sweating the small stuff.
