There is a well known tradition in literature to have certain must read books like Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Homer's Odyssey. But very little attention is paid to the non-fiction works that everyone should read to understand humanity and Western culture.

It took a slow and painful journey for me to build my confidence and courage to take the jump to be an entrepreneur. I had to learn that I really can choose to do what I WANT to do. I had to realize that I didn't have to live out anyone else's live except my own. I only wish I got here faster. Reading these books earlier than when I finally found them would have helped.
