Books Recommended by Roxana Bitoleanu

I am currently re-reading The Lean Startup, to refresh certain aspects of this kind of mindset for current and future projects.

Man's Search for Meaning, a story about resilience in the most extreme way possible.

A business book I would definitely choose the biography of Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance, because of Elon's strong, even extreme ambition to radically change the world, which I find very inspiring.

[One of the books that had the biggest impact on Roxana Bitoleanu] Shoe Dog, because we, entrepreneurs, can identify with the story behind Nike and the mistakes that eventually led to the creation of the brand.

[One of the books that had the biggest impact on Roxana Bitoleanu]
The Alchemist, because we shouldn't look for happiness further than ourselves.

[One of the books that had the biggest impact on Roxana Bitoleanu] 1984, the future we are living today envisioned way back.

[One of the books that had the biggest impact on Roxana Bitoleanu] The power of now, as time is a limited resource and we should spend it as wonderfully as possible.

I would definitely start my list with The Mom Test because there is no resource on how to ask questions without being too eager or too revealing. I think this skill should be trained, be it an entrepreneur or not.

If I have to choose only one non-business book I would pick Jules Verne's "A journey to the center of the earth", as a symbolic journey to the unknown, deep down, just like our personal search for meaning, for our inner driver.

Just a few days ago when I finished reading Mind Hacking, an open source book, which made me think of me thinking. As funny as it sounds, the questions are profound and the mind games are quite challenging. The book helped me understand more about focus (why our mind wanders around).
