Sometimes the gap between an entrepreneur and a life-changing idea is just a single book. So if you’re looking for that hidden gem, look no further and check out our list of the most underrated books for entrepreneurs.
The more you feed yourself with new ideas, the more likely you’ll be able to move forward as an entrepreneur.
The good thing about underrated books for entrepreneurs is that they help you gain a new perspective, idea, practice, technique, or nugget of knowledge that could help you go a long way.
If you aren’t sure what types of books you should be reading, this article will help provide you with options on where to start and what to focus on.
Since reading books takes time, it’s essential to spend your time wisely on a good book that helps you improve.
How many books should you read?
Many assume that to grow in knowledge, they must consume as many books as possible. This isn’t realistic.
Although you might read some of the best books, if you can’t remember, reflect, and practice them, you won’t be able to improve your life.
Some successful people, like the hundred-millionaire Alex Hormozi, would argue that instead of reading as many books as possible, pick a few of the best books and read them as many times as possible.
What to look for in a book for entrepreneurs
Everyone is different, and thus everyone requires different things. When looking for the perfect book for entrepreneurs, the reader must have substance, a story, and maybe a different perspective.
Different books hit people differently, but one crucial thing, especially for natural entrepreneurs, is that they are written from the point of experience and not just imagination.
What are the most underrated books for entrepreneurs?
Here are some of the best-underrated entrepreneur books that few people know about.
‘Gym Launch Secrets: The Step-By-Step Guide To Building A Massively Profitable Gym‘
This book is written by Alex Hormozi and is an immensely detailed guide to building a good gym. If you are not in the gym business, you’ll still be able to see and learn from the concepts detailed in the book.
‘The Mamba Mentality: How I Play‘
Although not directly related to business, Kobe Bryant does an intensely great job detailing what it takes to become successful. Aside from just motivation, Bryant shares the perspective he’s used that pushed him to new heights.
‘Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones‘
Although a bit more popular, Atomic Habits is an excellent guide to help you focus on tiny, consistent improvements to make significant changes more feasible.
‘The Lean Startup‘
Everybody comes up with a good idea every once in a while, but real entrepreneurs are those who learn how to turn the idea into a reality. This book is about how to validate your vision and create a solid structure around it without unnecessary risk or waste.
‘Dying for a Paycheck‘
The great thing about this book is that instead of entrepreneurs learning what it used to be before adapting to what it is, it takes readers directly into the present business atmosphere.
How to absorb more?
Memory absorption is built on three components:
1. Impression
2. Association
3. Repetition
A single one of these components can be enough to memorize anything. However, weaving the three components together is the most secure way to remember anything once and for all from a book.
Impression
When you are very impressed by something (an idea, a picture, a sound, a face, a text, a situation), the probability that you will remember it is much higher.
Association
If you can link something you read to anything you already know, the probability of remembering it becomes even stronger — sometimes incredibly strong.
Repetition
If you read a book ten times, you will remember more. Same for anything, a recipe, a route between two locations, the lyrics of a song, phone numbers, etc. The more you repeat, the more you remember.
