Derek Sivers’ Book List

Derek Sivers’ book recommendations continue to be some of the most well matched to my own tastes.

Infrequently updated, Derek Sivers’ book list provides a tiny summary of his recent reads, followed by extensive notes he has taken from each: somewhat similar to my current process, now that Amazon’s Kindle has completely transformed my reading and note-taking habits.

In addition to the extensive book list itself, Sivers lists eleven of his top recommendations (some that I would change, others that I’ve heard contradicting views on, but a great starting point nonetheless):

• Understanding the world we live in
  • Stumbling on Happiness
  • The Wisdom of Crowds
  • The Paradox of Choice
• Marketing
  • Small is the New Big
  • Made to Stick
• Getting your life under control
  • The 4-Hour Work Week
• Own your own business?
  • E-Myth Revisited
  • The Ultimate Sales Machine
  • The Art of Profitability
• Dealing with people
  • What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
  • You, Inc.
