What Hacker News says

   When my kids were in preschool we also repeated a lot from the same set of maybe 40 books. Bill Peet wrote great books for the 3-7 range -- Cyrus the Unsinkable Sea Serpent, Kermit the Hermit, The Ant and the Elephant, Wump World, Hubert's Hair-Raising Adventure, and one that's great if it's not too scary: Cowardly Clyde.

   The books others have suggested are very good. However here are 3 that will challenge you to produce:

   "QBQ! The Question Behind the Question": as the review says:aimed at purging the "blame, complaining, and procrastination" from the workplace

   "The Ant and the Elephant": I read about several hundred nonfiction books mainly marketing or programming annually - this book is profound on motivating yourself. The idea that before you start your journey - imagine the milestones then imagine the ways you fail and NOW imagine what will do you when this happens is stunning. It is rehearsing for the worst so when the worst happens you you feel sad and then immediately move on.

   Finally, I just loved this book "How to Get Rich" especially the section about hiring and keeping talent and negotiating the sale of your business.
