My favorite type of book: pointing out and understanding all of the counter-intuitive things people do. – source2015-11-10T00:00:00.000Z
Q. - What's your favourite business book you'd advise to young entrepreneurs and why?
M.L. -Some good ones from the "pure business" category: Zero to One, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, The Innovator's Dilemma, Good to Great, etc. Personally, I prefer less advice, more history. From my favorite business segment: Too Big To Fail, Ascent of Money, When Genius Failed, etc. Books on applied psychology (Influence, Predictably Irrational, etc) are another way to round out primarily technological education :) – source2010-06-22T00:00:00.000Z
