The struggle. The grind. This is the reality check that you will always need when you’re going through it.
This is a list of the books, essays, blog posts, articles, podcasts, etc. that have had an outsized impact on my thinking in life and business. I am trying to figure out a good way to organize this, right now it is just a tiny part of my collection but definitely a set of books that I find myself suggesting to people over and over again.

What’s your favorite business book you’d recommend to young entrepreneurs and why?
Some good ones from the “pure business” category: Zero to One, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, The Innovator’s Dilemma, Good to Great, etc.
Ben Horowitz’s The Hard Thing About Hard Things is a series essays about what CEO face in the “Build” phase – the transition from searching for a business model into a company.
But @bhorowitz's book still makes great gift for entrepreneurs & future entrepreneurs (ages 8-108) in your life :-).
