Here are three books that I have loved reading
1. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
I know its been mentioned already, but truly this is a book worth mentioning twice. For the introverted or the arugmentative type and for anyone else, this book hits alot critical and sometimes overlooked human traits that everyone should be aware of in their daily interactions with other people.
A few quotes by Carnegie.
Avoid arguments
"you can't win an argument, because if you win it you lose it, and if you lose...well you lose it."
"few people think of themselves as bad people"
-means regardless of how they look,dress or talk, most people are appproachable with a smile and a "hi".
"people will always strive to justify themselves".
All three of these quotes are connected.
2. The Innovators Solution - Christensen and Raynor
If you've ever heard the quote "First they ignore you,... then they fight you, then you win." by Gandhi. This book puts it in perspective in relation to how small companies over take large companies.
3.The 48 Laws of Power _ Robert Greene.
Go Go read if you haven't yet. This is a great book! It pullls lessons which you can learn from various types of people throughout history from painters,generals to presidents.
My favorite was Law 28: "Enter action with boldness". Be bold in your ideas, be bold in how your carry yourself in life.
I know I said three 3, but Seth Godin still deserves some mention with All marketers are liars. Which simply I take to mean for us here is if your developing a startup, make sure it has a good...no a great story to tell.
