Austen Allred: "Snow Crash is now one of my favorite books of all-time"

Tobi Lutke: "Loved it. I’ve read every book by [Neal Stephenson]!"

Fred Wilson: "A lot of what we invest in and how we look at the future comes from that book"

Seth Godin: "It’s such a good book but you can’t give it to someone now. I've tried; it doesn’t work.

You have to read it before you’ve been on the internet. Then it changes your mind."

Cameron Winklevoss: "Love [Snow Crash]!"

Alexis Ohanian: "Snow Crash is so good. I gotta re-read; it's been too long."

Marc Andreessen: "Snow Crash was wildly ahead of its time"

Naval Ravikant recommended 'Snow Crash' on Twitter.

One of Larry Page's recommended books.

Peter Thiel: “It can sometimes seem as if one must learn everything old before one can try anything new.

Adam Grant does a masterful job showing that is not the case; we are lucky to have him as a guide.”

Sheryl Sandberg: “Originals is one of the most important and captivating books I have ever read, full of surprising and powerful ideas.

It will not only change the way you see the world; it might just change the way you live your life. And it could very well inspire you to change your world.”

Arianna Huffington: “Originals is a fascinating, eye-opening read that will help you not just recognize your own unique gifts, but find the strength to challenge conventional wisdom to bring them to life.

Using surprising studies and riveting stories, Adam Grant brilliantly shows us how to champion new ideas, bust persistent myths that hold us back and change not only our lives, but our world.”

Seth Godin: “An urgent must read, a seminal work that will surprise you on every single page.

Adam Grant has reset our expectations for what it means to be creative and what's required to make a difference. Share it with someone you care about.”

Kat Cole: "One of my favorite books"

One of Richard Branson's top books to read in a lifetime.

Anthony Pompliano: "One of the best books I read in 2017"

Andrew Wilkinson: "One of my most recommended business books"

Seth Godin: "This book will make you uncomfortable. Depending on what you do all day, it might make you extremely uncomfortable. That's a very good thing, because you deserve it. We all do.

Jason and David have broken all the rules and won. Again and again they've demonstrated that the regular way isn't necessarily the right way. They just don't say it, they do it. And they do it better than just about anyone has any right to expect.

This book is short, fast, sharp and ready to make a difference. It takes no prisoners, spares no quarter, and gives you no place to hide, all at the same time.

There, my review is almost as long as the first chapter of the book. I can't imagine what possible excuse you can dream up for not buying this book for every single person you work with, right now."

Mark Cuban: “If given a choice between investing in someone who has read REWORK or has an MBA, I’m investing in REWORK every time.

A must read for every entrepreneur.”

Shane Parrish: "This book showed me that I wasn’t alone or crazy. Other people think about the workplace like I do too."

Tony Hsieh: “The wisdom in these pages is edgy yet simple, straightforward, and proven. Read this book multiple times to help give you the courage you need to get out there and make something great.”

Jeff Bezos: “Unperturbed by conventional wisdom, Jason and David start fresh and rewrite the rules of business. Their approach turns out to be as successful as it is counter-intuitive.”

Tim Ferriss: "I encourage people to think of [Rework] as an Elements of Style for building profitable businesses in a web-savvy world.

Each chapter is 2-5 pages long and delivers their tactics and principles fat-free, without fluff. Just like their business models."

Elon Musk: "Dune Series by Herbert [is] brilliant. He advocates placing limits on machine intelligence."

Tim Ferriss: "Dune presents perhaps the most incredibly detailed and oddly believable fictional landscape I’ve ever encountered."

Jeff Bezos: "I’m a big science-fiction fan. I love Dune."

Cameron Winklevoss: "I have a couple [favorite books], to name a few, Isaac Asimov's Foundation, Frank Herbert's Dune, Daniel Mason's The Piano Tuner"

Seth Godin: "If you read 'Dune', and you don’t read it for the plot but you read it for understanding geopolitics, suddenly something clicks in your head."

One of Sahil Lavingia's most recommended books.

Seth Godin: "The first chapter alone will change your life. 

'Thinking in Bets' helps us understand what it actually means to make a decision, because decisions and outcomes are different things."

Michael Mauboussin: "An awesome book"

Marc Andreessen: "Compact guide to probabilistic domains like poker, or venture capital.

Best articulation of "resulting", drawing bad conclusions from confusing process and outcome. Recommend for people operating in the real world."

Howard Marks: "Thinking in Bets talks about how to systematize our thinking about making decisions under uncertainty because that's what we do as investors, just like poker players or gamblers"

Max Levchin: "One of the takeaways I found most relevant to business is that you should not conflate the quality of your judgement with the ultimate outcome of an initiative."

Seth Godin: "The True Believer is a must read. It’s dense, it’s more than fifty years old, it’s an easy read and it’s urgently important."

Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "This book is applicable to just about everyone.

It is simultaneously a book on history, psychology, influence, and salesmanship."

Marc Andreessen included this as one of 10 more books to read to understand 'The Bonfire of the Universities'.

One of Mark Cuban's 2017 Books to Read.

Bill Gurley: "A book that all entrepreneurs should read"

Seth Godin: "Crossing the Chasm helps us understand that it is a myth — an incorrect myth, a false myth — to believe that we can start with an idea for a few people and ride it from early adopter to early majority to late majority to laggard."

Changpeng Zhao: "This book has helped me hone my message with regard to talking about Binance to the world."

One of Aaron Levie's favorite business books.

One of five business books Chris Dixon recommended on Twitter.

Seth Godin: “A milestone! Well-researched, generous, actionable and important.

Adam Grant has given us a gift, a hard-hitting book about the efficacy of connection and generosity in everything we do.”

Tony Hsieh: “Give and Take defines a road to success marked by new ways of relating to colleagues and customers as well as new ways of growing a business.”

Michael Mauboussin: "Terrific book"

Arianna Huffington mentioned 'Give and Take' in her book, 'Thrive'.

Seth Godin: "This is a vitally important book. Simple, powerful and generous, it should be required reading."

Michael Mauboussin: "Annie Duke gives you the tools you need and tells you how to use them effectively. Smart and practical, _How to Decide _is the best user's guide to decision-making that you'll find."

Marc Andreessen: "'The decisions you make are like a portfolio of investments.' I believe that almost everything can be viewed as a portfolio -- whether it's a set of products a single company decides to make, the schools and jobs and skills an individual invests in, and all kinds of life decisions.

The question is, how do we make sure that portfolio as a whole advances you toward your goals -- even though any individual decision within it is a win or loss?

In this new book, Annie provides exercises for how to decide. All of us -- not just investors -- should be obsessed with making better decisions."

Reid Hoffman: "Entrepreneurial professionals must develop a competitive advantage by building valuable skills.

This book offers advice based on research and reality--not meaningless platitudes-- on how to invest in yourself in order to stand out from the crowd. An important guide to starting up a remarkable career."

Seth Godin: "Stop worrying about what you feel like doing (and what the world owes you) and instead, start creating something meaningful and then give it to the world. Cal really delivers with this one."

Michael Mauboussin: "I read Deep Work and really liked it."

One of Peter Thiel's favorite books.

Naval Ravikant: "Great book."

Seth Godin: "If you read Diamond Age before you’ve thought about molecular anything or 3D printing, then it changes your mind."

Michael Bloomberg: "If you’ve ever dreamed of changing careers or changing the world, read this book.”

Seth Godin: "Scott Harrison’s new book is called Thirst. It’s the autobiography of charity: water."

Arianna Huffington: “Scott Harrison's Thirst is a hope-filled book about finding your purpose in life and pursuing it against all odds.

From the many unbelievable stories Harrison shares from the field, to the moments when charity: water’s survival was in question, this book will inspire you to believe that you are more than the obstacles life has put in your path, and the world is more generous than it often seems.”

Jony Ive: "In this extraordinary book, Rick beautifully captures the sacred but commonplace practice of creating. 

I find it so powerful when someone gives voice or form to what we know but perhaps don’t understand. Designers from any discipline will find Rick's words profoundly encouraging and inspiring."

Andrew Huberman: "A must read!"

Seth Godin: "You'll probably read this extraordinary book four times. The first time, you'll gobble it up. The second time, you'll savour it. The third time, you'll take notes in the margins. But the fourth time, the fourth time it will be part of you as you create the work you were ready to ship.”

Seth Godin: "Stop worrying about what you feel like doing (and what the world owes you) and instead, start creating something meaningful and then give it to the world. Cal really delivers with this one."

Reid Hoffman: "Entrepreneurial professionals must develop a competitive advantage by building valuable skills. This book offers advice based on research and reality--not meaningless platitudes-- on how to invest in yourself in order to stand out from the crowd. An important guide to starting up a remarkable career."

Kevin Kelly: "While this book changed my mind about how skills trump passion, I consider it the only first word in outlining how one goes about this.

But it’s good enough for framing the question that I gave all my young adult kids a copy."

Joe Rogan: "One of my favorite books"

Seth Godin: "The War of Art is one of those books, at least for me when I finally was exposed to it, I said why wasn’t I informed?

Why did it take this long for this book to land on my desk? There aren’t very many books I could say it like that."

Seth Godin: "A book I wish I had written. There aren’t many books I haven’t written that I wish I had written and this is one of them.

If you care about how ideas spread in our culture and you want to understand issues around scarcity and abundance, about how we pick what we want in an era when the gatekeepers have left the building, well, The Long Tail will help you see it."

Reed Hastings: "It belongs on the shelf between The Tipping Point and Freakonomics."

Seth Godin: "A worthy successor to Michael Porter, Bova's book is that rare gift: it opens doors for new ideas and new actions.

No glib answers here, simply hard-won wisdom that will provoke big changes for organizations large and small."

Arianna Huffington: "Too many companies foster cultures of burnout in the pursuit of short-term growth as an end in itself.

Smart growth is sustainable growth and Tiffani Bova shows us how to maintain it by building a purpose-led culture and leveraging, instead of sacrificing, the dedication of your people."

Seth Godin: "You're smarter than you think.

Ozan Varol makes a compelling case for each of us to level up and to contribute at a level we've talked ourselves out of."

Keith Rabois: "A book for today's times"

Seth Godin: "The most fascinating book I've read all year [2015] is Debt, by David Graeber."

Michael Saylor recommended Debt: The First 5000 Years on his Bitcoin website, Hope.com

Seth Godin: "The Blue Sweater is the true story of how one woman has decided to change philanthropy, capitalism, development, and the way two billion poor people — who just happen to be poor, they don’t deserve to be poor — two billion people who are currently poor engage with markets, engage with the privileged part of the world, and engage with each other."

Seth Godin: "Great non-fiction helps us see the unseen, plants and nurtures ideas that matter, and, sometimes, can leave us better than we were.

Isabel Wilkerson’s new book Caste does all of those things. It uses language, analogy and history to pull together disparate threads into a coherent, devastating whole.

Highly recommended."

Seth Godin mentioned 'Meaningful Work' on the 'Tim Ferriss Show' podcast.

Seth Godin: "A Walk in Their Shoes, by a leader named Jim Ziolkowski, was about how Jim from a job at GE built an institution that’s in countries around the world, changing the lives of underprivileged kids."

Seth Godin: "If you just listen to one story, if you’re into selling, listen to that story ten times – you can’t listen once; ten times – you’ll become a different kind of salesperson."

Seth Godin: "B is a simple poem from a mother to her daughter. And I have to confess, I get choked up every single time I read it.

If you’ve got a mother or if you’ve got a daughter, this is a great gift, a great book to share with them."

Seth Godin: "The Gift is a dense, extraordinarily researched book written by a brilliant writer, and it’s not about what you think it’s about.

It’s not about reciprocity. It’s not about the hustle. It’s not about giving gifts so you will get things. It’s about the muse, about being a genius. It’s about culture and it’s about society."

Seth Godin: "Brilliant book... which I have given away many, many copies of."

Seth Godin: "Magnificent."

Seth Godin: "You don’t have to read many of the books I’ve written if you just read The Pursuit of Wow.

What Tom is talking about in this book — and he’s not afraid to use exclamation points, underlines, bold, and the occasional illustration or photo — is that people who care can make a difference, and that business as usual just isn’t going to cut it anymore."

Seth Godin: "What Marshall Sahlins was able to show is that cavemen didn’t work very hard.

Our vision of cavemen is that they were always foraging; that they were always hunting; that it was a frantic, long tooth-and-claw, dramatic lifestyle.

But he says actually, about four hours a day, and then they could get back to the business of living."

Seth Godin: "[Read this book] if you’re into security and privacy"

Seth Godin: "The single, best audio book ever recorded by Patty Smith.

It is not going to change the way you do business but it might change the way you live. It’s about love and loss and art."

Seth Godin: "[Read this book] if you’re into 3D printing and stuff"

Seth Godin: "If you read Pattern Recognition by William Gibson, you don’t even have to finish it; just read the first five chapters and suddenly, you will now understand what a brand is."

Seth Godin: "Will completely change the way you think about possibility, about enrollment, about leadership.

I listen to it probably about once a month in the car. Just put it on, in the middle; doesn’t matter where you start."

Seth Godin: "It’s raw, personal and life-altering."

Seth Godin: "Paul McGowan is the real deal, 100% inspired, inspiring and a genuine mensch.

This book will make you laugh and push you to do something remarkable. Go make a ruckus."
