Over at Seedcamp there’s an article on 30 books every young entrepreneur should read. As with any list you can take it or leave it. But it is a very good list. I’m also assuming they’re not in any particular order. Although I don’t agree that those are the top 30 I’ve never really thought about a top 30 list. I do know certain books I’d put up on any list. Since I’ve been asked before which books I’ve read with an entrepreneurial slant I’ll list them now. They’re not in any particular order. 1.Rules for Revolutionaries. In a way this appears to be a description of what Apple does. And you can’t really go too wrong trying to emulate Apple’s fanatical desire to please the customer. 5.Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure Story. Read it and weep. Find out how having the best doesn’t always matter. And why “good enough” usually is plenty good for most people. 8.Slack. More in tune with large companies or startups that have passed the 100 person marker, this book explains the pitfalls awaiting those that are driven to succeed in today’s world. It explains how slack — in schedules, life, etc. — are necessary.
