The Power of Non-Business Reading for Entrepreneurs

 
 

A couple of weeks ago, I asked my Facebook friends a simple question: "What is the best book you've ever read? Please list up to three." The response was incredible, with over 100 comments flooding in! It was amazing to see such a wide range of books, from timeless classics to modern hits.

I’ve compiled all their fantastic recommendations into a beautiful spreadsheet that you can download here. We'll keep updating it, so you’ll always have fresh literary inspiration at your fingertips.

As entrepreneurs, we’re often neck-deep in business books, trying to squeeze out every last drop of insight to boost our ventures. But sometimes, the best thing we can do for our business brains is to take a break and dive into some fiction or non-business reads.

Reading literature is like a mental vacation. It helps reduce stress, prevents burnout, and can even spark creativity in ways you’d never expect. Plus, fiction can give us new perspectives on human behavior, improve our empathy, and enhance our communication skills—all of which are super valuable in business.

So, why not take a little break from the grind and pick up one of these recommended reads? Whether you’re in the mood for a gripping novel to unwind with or something thought-provoking to inspire new ideas, this list has got you covered.

Do you have any favorite books to add to this list? Let me know! We will continue to update it with more great recommendations, so keep an eye out for new additions.

Happy reading!
