14. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson.

The title alone sold me on this business book, but it’s been recommended to me by several friends. This New York Times Bestseller is built around the core argument, backed by academic research, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn “lemons into lemonade,” but on learning to stomach the lemons better. It’s about setting realistic expectations for ourselves. Embracing our fears, faults and uncertainties to begin finding the courage, honesty, responsibility we seek. This was a fun read while I was out in nature on a camping trip—and as an aside, check out my list of the best hiking books today.

One of the things I like most about this book is how the author, Mark Manson‘s personal writing buy afghanistan number list truly reflects the title of the book. What reads as 2 parts deep life advice and 1 part comedy, keeps you engaged and anxiously anticipating what comes next—especially when listening on Audible. Another thing I love about Manson’s style is that he doesn’t give a shit about respecting industry jargon or business slang—he actively makes fun of it.

15. The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers by Ben Horowitz.
Best Business Books Hard Thing About Hard Things Ben Horowitz
This is one of my favorite titles I’ve ever seen for a business book. Author Ben Horowitz is a co-founder and general partner of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. For many years he wrote on a personal blog, giving down to earth business advice and sharing his experiences on building and running startups. For this business book, he’s adapted most of his original posts and compiled them into an incredible narrative about how to navigate the inevitable difficulties when starting and growing a business (especially on the side of your day job).

Horowitz analyzes the problems that confront leaders every day, sharing the insights that he’s gained along the way. He tells things straight, covering topic areas like starting a business with friends, firing those friends when things aren’t working out, poaching competitors and cultivating a CEO mentality. Perhaps what I love most about The Hard Thing About Hard Things, is that he amplifies the stories with lyrics from his favorite rap songs.

I remember when The Power of Habit especially grabbed the attention of readers in the U.S. as it was released in 2014. It topped most of the bestseller lists and spent more than 60 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List. In this business book, Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the edge of scientific discoveries, explains why habits exist and how they can be proactively changed to create positive results in our lives.
