As the title says, I am interested to know what book have you read which helped you in personal life and business. Thanks

Oh, that's my favorite subject, I love reading autobiographies of awesome people =)

Here are my favorites:

- Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman

- Ghost In The Wires by Kevin Mitnick

- Catch me if you can by Abagnale

- iWoz by Steve Wozniak

- Losing my Virginity by Richard Branson

- Without their Permission by Alexis Ohanian

All of them are absolutely awesome and enlightening and entertaining. Also I can highly recommend listening them as audiobooks, very convenient.

I've recently read a book which encouraged me to change my lazy habits and strive for more: Losing my Virginity, by Richard Branson and Edward Whitley.

It made me realize I've never really hustled in my life. Reading it was a humbling experience. When I finished the book I was on the verge of tears, an odd mix of shame and wonder.

I highly recommend you Branson's autobiography.

I do that book but could not finished it. Neither I read it with full attention 4 years back. I guess I need to re-read it.

Thanks for your comment.
