Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill was the single most impactful book that altered the trajectory of my entire life!
Peopleware.
The best book on managing people I have read full stop. Nothing even comes close.
Synergetics- Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking- by Buckminster Fuller.
It’s a very challenging book to read and the author is very long-winded at times, but blame the linguistic constraints for that, because many of these complex concepts simply cannot be distilled into simpler terms. The long and short of it is this: if you can manage to read Synergetics in its entirety, it’s like a firmware update for how you perceive the world and this effect has huge implications on how you go about strategizing your entrepreneurial endeavors
Rich Dad Poor Dad, Atomic Habits, Ishmael.
Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking
Life Force by Tony Robbins. Changes your perspective on age, health and life in general. It‘s quite the read but worth every second imo 😊

Can’t Hurt Me - David Goggins
I went from 200 down to 150lbs and found a new love of physical activities. It’s been some years since reading it and I’m still out here getting it
Real Estate Finance and Investments: Risks and Opportunities by Bruce Kirsch and Dr. Peter Linneman

How to Win Friends & Influence People. I'm autistic and having social skills best practices written out for me with examples landed me interviews, got me into romantic relationships, and more than 10x-ed the number of people I made friends with. It completely demystified social interactions. Before reading it I felt like a fish that never learned how to swim.
I think this book, and other nonfiction books in similar styles (The 48 Laws of Power, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, etc) illustrate that although their teachings might seem obvious to some, most of us are more ignorant/forgetful than we think and could use a tutorial now and then.
The Alchemist. ✨
The Bible. I became catholic.
Rich dad poor dad, as simple as the concepts are it really helped have a different perspective
The old man and the sea
I know it's going to get everyone going, but The Fountainhead. I have since accepted how the ideology and utopian bullshit is just that. Total fantasy.
But I would be remiss if I didn't admit it encouraged me to take my life into my own hands, try my best not to have to rely on others, become resourceful and useful. That has all helped me quite a bit in the subsequent decades.
Not too long after my indoctrination, I decided hey if I'm so sure about this ideology, then no harm in reading the other stuff. So I read the Communist Manifesto and accepted, yeah, Engels & Marx made some good points about a lot of stuff.
For a long time I've been happily in the middle understanding both those extremes and their appeal to people.
Atomic Habits
Reality Transurfing. Also, The Science of Getting Rich.
Rich Dad Poor Dad
I've read it as a teenager and this is the book that made me realize that even tho nobody in my family has ever achieved anything, it's possible to get out of that cycle and do something big with my life.
This is the book that made me want to create my own business. It's been over two decades now that I've read it, and the business I co-founded raiseSeries C at a value of $350M. And in a way, it's thanks to that book for changing my world-view.
The Psychology of Money
The way of kings...cuz during my panic attacks I had a way to escape to a different world.
