There was a moment where I was on a quest for self-discovery. I felt lost and wasn't sure if I was who I was because I made the decision to be me, or if my identity was programmed by culture, society and setting. Because of that, I started reading self-help books to reconstruct identity and mold who I wanted to be. This book helped me.

Who Moved My Cheese - I'm a sucker for parables (stories to illustrate a moral lesson) and this book really delivers. I wish I found it years ago. It's super short but it has so many insights about dealing with change. It teaches you how to avoid over complicating things and to constantly be aware of what's going on around you so that you can adapt before things get problematic. It's one of those books where you feel sad that it's over, surprised how you managed to go your entire life without reading it and excited to move forward with whatever journey you're on.

Darren Chua (Co-Founder & CEO/Markedshot)

Tudor Mihailescu (Finance and Business Enablement Manager)

Beyond communication, CFO needs to learn to influence effectively, get people to contribute so that they buy in. Again, this is a vast space, some of my personal favourites being Who Moved My Cheese (Johnson), Lateral Thinking (de Bono), The Art of Asking (Palmer).

Jose He (Chief Performance Officer/Bountie.io)

I believe it takes tonnes of understanding, motivation, wisdom & competence to become an extremely successful entrepreneur. To reach that high level is tough, to remain at that level is even tougher. I reckon that these books should be able to provide a basic fundamental to young peeps on what to expect before deciding to hop on to join us as a tech startup.
