    What Hacker News says

      The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman So simple and clear. I listen to it once or twice a year.

      How to Fight a Hydra by Josh Kaufman A heroes story about doing hard things.

      Courage is Calling by Ryan Holiday I didn't actually finish this one. I just go back to it for about 20-30 minutes every time I need a boost. I save it for when I feel overwhelmed and it snaps me right out of it.

      Clean Code, the Clean Coder, and Clean Architecture by Robert C Martin Amazing. I am better for reading these.

      Venture Deals by Brad Feld Saved me a lot of time and heartache

      The Metaverse by Matthew Ball The first real definition of the Metaverse I've ever heard. Loved it.

      Josh Kaufman's How to Fight a Hydra [1].

      Says a lot about risk taking and potential rewards. It's short enough to read in one sitting, but more importantly, picking up a book like that reminds me why the world needs more risk takers.
