Recommendations
Zero to One
Peter Thiel
One of the best life philosophy books disguised as a business book. It challenges you to think for yourself and create value in unique ways.
The Pathless Path
Paul Millerd
Optimize for adventure over safety. It argues that the 'safe' path isn't truly safe, and the uncertain path isn't as dangerous as we fear—but infinitely more rewarding.
Shoe Dog
Phil Knight
An incredible example of a life well-lived. Phil Knight's memoir is a raw, honest look at the messy reality of building something great.
The Courage to Be Disliked
Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga
The book I recommend most often. It liberates you with a powerful idea: true freedom is having the courage to be disliked, to accept conflict, and to live on your own terms.
The War of Art
Steven Pressfield
The ultimate guide to finishing projects. It identifies 'Resistance' as the force that stops us and gives you the tools to push through the hardest part—the last 5%.
Meditations
Marcus Aurelius
Timeless wisdom that yields new insights with every read. Marcus Aurelius's private notes remind us to focus on what we can control and live with virtue.
