- #GirlBoss by Sophia Amoruso
She had me at #GIRLBOSS. How could this book not make anyone’s Must Read list? I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t know much about Nasty Gal before reading her book, but oh my– now I’m more fascinated than ever by her vintage-inspired clothing and her meteoric rise from friending strangers on MySpace to raking in 8 figures with a national corporation in her pocket. The New York Times actually dubbed her the “Cinderella of tech,” and it isn’t because she’s a technological genius– it’s because of her successful {and lucky} romp with social media.
- Girl Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Success, Sanity, and Happiness for the Female Entrepreneur
GIRL CODE is a roadmap for female entrepreneurs, professional women, “side hustlers,” and anyone in between who wants to become a better woman. This book will not teach you how to build a multimillion dollar business, and it won’t teach you about systems or operational processes. However, it will teach you how to build confidence in yourself, reconnect with your why, eradicate jealousy, and ultimately learn the power of connection, which at the end of the day, is what life and business are all about.
- The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Timothy Ferris
The 4-Hour Workweek is a self-help book by Timothy Ferriss, an educational activist and entrepreneur. The book has been translated into 35 languages and has sold more than 1,350,000 copies worldwide. It focuses on what Ferriss refers to as “lifestyle design” and a repudiation of the traditional “deferred” life plan in which people work grueling hours and take few vacations for decades and save money in order to relax after retirement.
