Books Recommended by Darvin Kurniawan
Read the interview: Darvin Kurniawan
In Darvin Kurniawan’s words:
"The Black Swan" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (and basically the others in the series like "Fooled by Randomness" and "Antifragile") are also my favourites. It explained things that I sort of felt existed but unable to articulate. These books explained it well, about the role of chance/probability and randomness, in our lives.

The Lean Startup
by Eric Ries
"The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries is one of the book that fundamentally changed the way I approached creating a new business. Of course by now this might have been considered a cliche, but it is so fundamentally important that many of the newer entrepreneurs fail to think that way.
The Innovator’s Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail
"The Innovators Dilemma" by Clayton M. Christensen, especially for those having a deep organisational (big company) experience before making the switch to entrepreneurship.
Blue Ocean Strategy
by W. Chan Kim, Renée Mauborgne
"Blue Ocean Strategy" by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne is another book that helps me understand about creating new market, which is inline with what a startup need (from the traditional fighting for market share, to the Blue Ocean way of creating a new market).
Destined to Reign: The Secret to Effortless Success, Wholeness and Victorious Living
"Destined to Reign" by Joseph Prince is a religious book that made an impact on how I see the Christian faith. It is so radically different, it started to make sense.
