"I recommend a book about fundamental stoic principles - 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B Peterson

Do we have a world of chaos or a world of order? What terrible fate awaits those who criticise too easily? Why should you always pet a cat when you meet one on the street? Dr Peterson answers the most challenging questions through clinical psychology's prism distilling the world's wisdom into twelve wide-ranging essays. The 12 Rules for Life describes the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature while transforming and inspiring our mind and spirit.

"If you want great insights and advice for tech founders and executives, read The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz

It's one of the few books where the author admits there is no such thing as a perfect business, no matter how many plans we make. Mistakes will inevitably happen. Ben shares his challenging cases and the decisions he had to make. Great insights of proper understanding of what you can face as an entrepreneur add value to the book. My favourite quotes from this book - "People, product, profit - in that order".

Leaders at Google for over a decade codified his wisdom in the crucial guide based on interviews with over eighty people who knew and loved Bill Campbell. The book explains the principles and tells stories from the great people and companies with which he worked.
