17 Intriguing Books Entrepreneurs Recommend You Read
Looking for a long-read recommendation not suggested by an
algorithm or off of the current best-seller list? After interviewing over 60
entrepreneurs, here's a list of intriguing suggestions to use to select your
next read.
#Girlboss, anything by
marketing guru Seth Godin and the Stephen Covey's classic "The 7 Habits of
Highly Effective People", these books may be on your book shelf or Kindle
already. But have you read "The Renaissance Soul: How to Make Your
Passions Your Life" by Margaret Lobenstein"? For entrepreneur
Michelle Ward, aka When I Grow Up Coach, "The Renaissance Soul" is
her drop-everything recommendation for any multi-passionate, creative type. If
you're looking for a must-read recommendation to productively pass the time on
a lazy summer afternoon or alternatively, to pack for your next business trip,

advice - which entrepreneurs have indicted are their must read:

honest "Personal History" by Katharine Graham. But don't just take my
word for it that "Personal History" is a must business-read. When
asked in an interview whether he would write his autobiography, Warren Buffet
replied that he had always considered it, that is, until his good friend
Katharine Graham published her incredible story.
