If you want to establish a business, read everything you can about it. These titles are a wonderful place to start. Starting a business involves more than just an idea; it requires solid information, direction, and a road map.

Here are a few startup books that can provide you with the knowledge you need to start your own business

ZERO TO ONE by Peter Thiel

In Zero to One, entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel demonstrates how to develop new ways to create great things. To make any progress, a leader must begin to think for himself. His reasoning for Zero to One is that doing something someone already knows increases the world’s value from 1 to n by adding something familiar. When someone does anything new, though, he goes from 0 to 1. Future winners will not compete, but will instead create new firms in which they will go from 0 to 1. The book Zero to One is about discovering value in unexpected places.

LEAN STARTUP by Eric Ries

Starting a business isn’t always about making money. It is frequently about accepting failure. There is some risk involved. The Lean Startup is about the process of starting a business. The book emphasizes the importance of boosting corporate capital efficiency as well as maximizing human innovation.

HOOKED by Nir Eyal

Nir Eyalin Hooked explains how successful businesses develop exceptional products. Why do some items stand out while others do not? Why do some things compel us to interact out of habit, while others do not? Eyal analyzes the phenomenon using a ‘Hook Model,’ which is a four-step process that, when integrated in products, changes customer behavior discreetly. The book provides a step-by-step approach to creating better products. It is intended for product managers, designers, marketers, start-up founders, and anybody interested in learning how products influence human behavior.
