3 Startup Books to Read Over Thanksgiving Break

Written by

With the Thanksgiving break right around the corner it’s a great time to settle in and read a few startup books. While there are a number of great entrepreneur books, let’s choose three geared toward startup entrepreneurs:

The Art of the Start – Guy Kawasaki is the king of startup stories and sayings, and this is one of the best books on the market in terms of wisdom and energy.
Getting Real – The 37signals guys know what they’re doing and this book lays out a great approach to building a strong company with an opinionated product.
The Advantage – Patrick Lencioni is my personal guru when it comes to strategy and culture and this book doesn’t disappoint by building a case that corporate culture is an entrepreneur’s most precious asset.

So, there you go. Three quick startup reads for the Thanksgiving break.

What else? What are some other good startup books to read over Thanksgiving break?

Don’t know that it necessarily qualifies as a “start-up” book, but The Tipping Point definitely gets you thinking “entrepreneur-ly.”

I am reading Hatching Twitter by Nick Bilton over the break. Entertaining and learning all in one.

Not necessarily a startup book but the Clayton Christianson book “How to Measure Your Life” is a great read on how to apply business principles to your personal life so you can maximize happiness and don’t end up divorced or in jail.
