The Almanack of Naval Ravikant - Eric Jorgenson

Filled with great life & business advise.

Why I recommend it

He says things like "Praise specifically, criticize generally". A very deep and meaningful approach towards anything in life, whether is business or pleasure. The book is filled with such monumental nuggets.
