What books should entrepreneurs read to help them survive 2023?


The year ahead is already promising in terms of challenges to entrepreneurs both on the macro and micro levels (inflation, recession, quite quitting, ...). What books would you recommend to help better understand and mitigate these challenges?

The same books that entrepreneurs needed to read/imbibe to "help them survive" in every previous year

New books are exciting toys - but the old ones are [almost] always better

My back of the envelope guess is that 10% of all "new" business/entrepreneurial/economics/etc texts are going to be worth reading in a year

Of those, 10% will be worth reading in a decade

Look at what's survived and carries the weight of continued availability instead of always looking for the latest and "greatest" management book

Better yet, find actual meat-world people who have been there and done that, and get their advice
