@omwow "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" comes so often as a suggestion, don't know how I still haven't read it π
Lean Startup is a masterpiece, Eric Ries had a product launch recently. Go and say hi! π

Thanks for sharing these Ivan, I have added them to my read list. I would recommend Lean Customer Development: Building Products Your Customers Will Buy - By Cindy Alvarez

@jaka_koprivec great recommendation Jaka! I've never read it before, but I actually already have it on my reading list, so, upping the priority I guess π
By the way, Eric Ries, the author of Lean Startup actually launched the product on Product Hunt pretty recently:

@uma_venugopal 1-3 are AWESOME additions to my list π
Things from 1. and 2. I use every single day, and the Grit is also a must-read π
Never read the 4. and 5. but I'll probably give them a try. Thanks for the recommendations! π
Hooked by Nir Eyal

@michael_cash1 awesome book I've heard π
I would say The Lean Startup, Zero to One, and HOOKED (by Nir Eyal) changed my mind, but it's more like it FREED my mind.
As someone coming from a software developer background it's really hard not to get caught up in the little details all the time

@manjur_ahmed1 yeah exactly, Zero to One especially gives you that visionary mindset to really build something big π
I really need to read Hooked it was recommended by so many people already π
