I like “the 4hour work week” by Tim Ferriss, it’s a good starting point especially in the mentality side of things

The $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau
Rich Dad Poor Dad
easy to understand and not too bs for starters is probably Shoe Dog
Came here to say this. Shoe dog is my favorite book and a must read
Ooooh. Also came here to say this.
I came here to say Millionaire Fastlane. That will prevent him from going down the wrong path like drop shipping.
Also a perfect mix of motivation and practicality in my opinion.
Yes, seems like he is hooked on social media gurus helping people “shortcut”. Good call.

If you're looking for a more general book, I really like Tools of Titans by Tim Ferris. It's quick interviews with a bunch of really successful people about what they did that made them successful.
If you're looking for a really specific book about entrepreneurship, Foolproof: How to find and test great business opportunities by Jenny Douche is a New Zealand book that's the best I've ever seen about how to test your ideas before going to market. Currently working my way through it for several new ideas of my own....
Millionaire Fastlane 100%. Promotes real entrepreneurship and values the process.
I haven’t read it, but I’ve heard good things about this book: Startup Opportunities, Know When to Quit Your Day Job” by Sean Wise and Brad Feld.
I sell quiet a few ebooks on marketing, entrepreneurship and how to start a business
The 4 hour work week was the gateway drug for me.
The millionaire fastlane and unscripted
Alex hormozi has great stuff
Anything to help develop a good mindset is useful
But above all else, just get experience, learn sales, communication, product design, problem solving. No book will replace experience.
I heard plenty of good things about the books you mentioned. But I want to chip in something.
How to Win Friends and Influence People is a must-read for every entrepreneur (at least in my opinion).
While this will not necessarily teach him how to do business or give him keys to making a ton of money by doing an hour's worth of work, it will open your brothers eyes to many facts about people and how to new customers, soothe angry ones, and keep them coming back.

This is my husbands favorite book. I just came here to see if we someone would name it!
The book 100M leads by alex hormozi, it's 20 dollars and it's an A to Z on client aquisition
How to be a founder is a good easy book to begin with
