Hey there! What’s a great book for an indie hacker? I will start with a classic
Zero to one - Peter Thiel
Rework[1] has been my favorite yearly must read
[1]https://www.amazon.com/Rework-Jason-Fried/dp/0307704513
In my opinion the best book on Entrepreneurship and idea finding is Peter Drucker's Innovation & Entrepreneurship: https://www.academia.edu/38623791/Innovation_and_entrepreneurship_-_Peter_F_Drucker
E-myth Revisited - brings a good perspective to help remind you not to get stuck in the day to day without thinking about the bigger picture.
I just finished the Elon Musk book, insightful, inspiring and funny. Worth checking out in my opinion.
I'm quite amazed about how much this book is underappreciated
"Hello, Startup: A Programmer's Guide to Building Products, Technologies, and Teams" by Yevgeniy Brikman
This is still the best book I read on startups so far from the perspective of someone who knows at least the basics of programming or design.
I found Zero to one to be a bit too vague to be useful enough. Felt quite random, trying to say things without really saying anything... Nevertheless, mine would be:
Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products by Nir Eval
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22668729-hooked
Immensely interesting and practically useful, plus quite easy to read.
Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think
by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34890015-factfulness
Anything You Want, by Derek Sivers. Straight-talk from founder to founder, without hyping other agendas or over-complicating anything.
+1. I also enjoy "Start small, stay small" by Rob Walling.
and "Product-led growth" by Wes Bush recently.
