   I personally recommend this book: The Almanack of Naval Ravikant A Guide to Wealth and Happiness. It was an old book but it is really classic. I think Naval's philosophy in this book has inspired me a lot and change my mindset in daily life.

   The Almanack of Naval Ravikanth. https://www.navalmanack.com/

   I count Ravikanth as one of my gurus. From working as a professor in a medical school to starting up a small microSaaS, I attribute it all to Ravikanth who condensed everything one needs to know into a few tweets, followed by its expansion on his podcast.

   Now, I preach seeking of Specific Knowledge to all my students and the principle of leveraging bots through programming as well as learning marketing no matter which field you belong to.

   I was recently reading The Almanack of Naval Ravikant (great book btw), and one of the interesting things was he spent all his after-school hours in the library, for years! (It was a circumstantial thing)

   But it's such a great way to get into reading, and feed your child-like curiosity with the best resources.

   As someone who is more interested in building the product than marketing it, I found the following recent reads helpful in achieving a balance:

   1. Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey A. Moore - making your product work for the masses

   2. The Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen - achieving escape velocity, getting viral referral traffic

   3. Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss - it might seem a bit gimmicky but negotiation always comes off gimmicky
