It’s a known fact that Entrepreneurs have to cultivate the habit of reading, here are 5 books every entrepreneur should read. You will agree with me that reading is important to everyone. Well except, those who are content with remaining in the same spot forever.
Joseph Addison says :“Reading does to the mind what exercise does to the body”
If you’re an Entrepreneur or with an entrepreneurial mindset, you must have read a couple of books that have proved invaluable to you and your business.

This book captures you by using an entertaining story about an executive facing challenges at work and at home to expose the precise psychological processes that conceal true motivations, intentions and trap you in a “box” of endless self-justification.
