9 books recommended by Andrew Youderian
The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
by Tim Ferriss
It's very cliche, but the 4-Hour Work Week was published in 2007 right when I was leaving the corporate world, and definitely played a role in my starting my own company.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
My favorite business book is probably the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People as it's helped me focus on the things that really move the needle.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Favorite non-business book is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's science fiction meets adventure meets comedy with a large dose of British humor.
Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging
And finally, the book "Tribe" by Sebastian Junger reinforced in my the importance of relationships and in-person community, and made it something I'm trying to prioritize more in my life.
Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us
by Seth Godin
The book "Tribes" by Seth Godin has been helpful as I've learned and studied how to best lead a Community.
EntreLeadership: 20 Years of Practical Business Wisdom from the Trenches
by Dave Ramsey
When I was early on in managing my first full-time employee I read EntreLeadership by Dave Ramsey. It's a book about how to be a good, empathetic manager. I was struggling to think through how to structure a compensation package for my new team member and that book helped a lot.
