Over the past 12 months, I have had a chance to do more reading. Among the titles I’ve flipped through, I’ve read two great books on unrelated topics that are actually about entrepreneurship. This is not uncommon as some of the best insights we get come from lateral thinking and learning.

Two books that fit this category that immediately come to mind for me are “ Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success” by legendary college basketball coach John Wooden, and “ Antifragile “ by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

I highly recommend them to all entrepreneurs to continue to improve their game.
