If so, I'd appreciate the details (title, author) and a few words about why.

Sunday curiosity, no ulterior motive.

Thanks very much in advance.

I have been noticing my time towards podcasts and videos have been increasing and books decreasing.

However very proud of my dedicated bookcase towards an entire collection of billionaire books that I enjoy re-reading and strategically place by my desk so I can see them everyday as I work.

Have you seen the YCombinator booklist that just came out?google yc booklists for multiple years.

Besides those, How to fail at almost everything and still win big (scott adams) for chapter 23 about affirmations was a life changer for me - awesome.

Ask and it is Given by ester and jerry hicks.

Never split the difference by top FBI hostage negotiator. Chris Voss

Looking forward to Tim Ferris book which is compiled from his podcast interviews.

The Law of Success by Napolean Hill Reasons Why: - I learned that every thought you have is a vibration, every vibration you send out can be picked up by others. - It breaks down alot of skills for success and how to develop them in a practical way -If you have read Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill this is a basically a better/more in depth version.
