Startup Business Books

Which startup business books can you explore?

This collection brings business reading together with productivity, innovation, biography and personal development. The listings include BE 2.0: Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, Essentialism by Greg McKeown, The Innovators by Walter Isaacson and Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss. They offer different subjects rather than one complete startup curriculum.

What can Essentialism add to your reading?

Essentialism examines how to identify what matters, reduce non-essential commitments and focus your effort. Its subject is prioritisation, making it a different choice from a book about funding, accounting or setting up a legal business structure.

Are there business and innovation choices?

Explore BE 2.0, Mastering the Data Paradox by Nitin Seth and Re-imagine by Tom Peters through their individual descriptions. Steve Jobs and The Innovators, both by Walter Isaacson, are also listed for readers interested in biographical and historical approaches to business and technology.

How should a new entrepreneur choose a book?

Start with the question you need to investigate: an idea, a business practice, a leadership topic or the way you organise your work. Then check the synopsis and contents. A general personal-development title is not a substitute for a book focused on the particular business subject you need.
