3 Books Every New Entrepreneur Should Read In 2022

As a new entrepreneur, you are most likely accustomed to seeking inspiration and advice from people within your immediate reach. Whether it’s by connecting with mentors, brainstorming with friends, or joining local organizations, we tend to dedicate much of our time learning from those who are near.

While it is important to forge new relationships with people around us, we often overlook one of the best ways to get knowledge from some of the most brilliant individuals in the world…a book.

Today, we’re rounding up three of the best books to read this year and beyond.

1. How I Built This by Guy Raz
   Based on the highly acclaimed NPR podcast, How I Built This, this book rounds up all the best insights and advice from leading founders and brands. From the early days of formulating your idea to raising money and recruiting employees, How I Built This by Guy Raz offers tangible advice from highly successful entrepreneurs.

2. Atomic Habits by James Clear
   If you have ever wondered what it takes to build and maintain good habits, then this book is for you. In this easy-to-digest book, James Clear provides a simple framework for improving your life every day, despite your goal. I really appreciate how Clear breaks down some of the most complex ideas in biology, psychology, and neuroscience for anyone to understand and appreciate.

3. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
   In the mood for a good parable? Look no further. Brazilian author Paulo Coelho, writes of a young Shepard on his journey to find his treasure. In this story about life, destiny and sacrifice, you’ll discover firsthand what it means to truly go after your dreams. If you can, try to pick up the 25th Anniversary edition. I enjoyed reading Coelho’s inspiring account of how this book came to be.
