Hey Alex, Always enjoy reading your blog! I was inspired reading yours, to write about a few female-focused entrepreneurial books I’ve been reading too since I’ve done a lot of reading this summer too. You may enjoy the 85 Broads one because it shows a more positive, life-affirming side to the whole financial industry to counter what you read in the first book you mention. I also enjoyed the Zero to One book. Here’s a link to my blog in case you’re curious and/or have any females reading your blog who might like some business resources of their own to be inspired by: http://bit.ly/1LkCxOA

Great picks. Thanks for sharing. Peter Thiel’s book is a must ready for early stage companies trying to understand the big picture of where they fit into the world. One of chapters is the talk he gave at SXSW a few years ago. Very insightful.

Couple more books for considerations:

Crucial Conversations. Important for founders to communicate ideas and vision with team and investors. This is a great step-by-step guide.

The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time
So important to keep an eye on the big picture. 80/20 rule for energy.

Great picks, I’ve read all of them too. Ready Player One was such a fun read, looking forward to the movie!
