This is the list of 12 books I recommend any founder to read.
These books go from mathematics, physics, history, philosophy, economics, finance and business. The writers have different backgrounds and ideologies (from hardcore libertarians to marxists). I don’t agree with everything they say but reading them has been beneficial to me.
Expand your mind and deepen your understanding of the world.

Antifragile - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
This is one of the best books I have read. I grew up and live in a chaotic country. Knowing how to make the most out of disorder is crucial while living in a developing country. The implications of this way of thinking exceed by far the financial world. The way you approach human interactions will change once you fully grasp this book.

Scale - Geoffrey West
Science studies nature to find patterns and laws that govern it. West found some really intriguing laws that govern biology, cities and the economy.
Understanding these universal laws that don’t change with time is crucial to correctly navigate an ever changing world.
