Ben Horowitz knows no recipe guarantees success. He has written the first true guide for protecting a startup from self-sabotage.”

Naval Ravikant: "Fine book but it didn’t need to be an entire book."

Marc Andreessen: "Captivating dive into human decision making, marred by inclusion of several/many? psychology studies that fail to replicate. Will stand as a cautionary tale?"

One of Sam Altman's recommended books for young startup founders.

'Thinking in Bets' helps us understand what it actually means to make a decision, because decisions and outcomes are different things."

Best articulation of "resulting", drawing bad conclusions from confusing process and outcome. Recommend for people operating in the real world."

Howard Marks: "Thinking in Bets talks about how to systematize our thinking about making decisions under uncertainty because that's what we do as investors, just like poker players or gamblers"

Max Levchin: "One of the takeaways I found most relevant to business is that you should not conflate the quality of your judgement with the ultimate outcome of an initiative."

Marc Andreessen: "Smash hit in Japan, and easy to see why. Adlerian psychology meets Stoic philosophy in Socratic dialogue.

Compelling from front to back. Highly recommend."

Anthony Pompliano: "This book is tremendous. Highly recommend!"

Stewart Butterfield: "'The Courage to be Disliked' — which, right off the bat: great title, and definitely something I need — is a very traditional Socratic dialog, originally written in Japanese, principally about the work of the Austrian psychotherapist Alfred Adler.

Will cause keen self-reflection!"

Tobi Lutke: "It is probably the best book I’ve read in the last couple of years."

Garry Tan: "Two objectives in Adlerian psychology: be self reliant and live in harmony with society"

Marc Andreessen: "I've always wondered what would have happened if we had built one-click payments into the browser from the very beginning. With bitcoin, we finally get this 'Internet of Money'.

But this book isn't just an ode to bitcoin -- it's an ode to open protocols, what happens when you connect people online, and the power of innovation on the internet."

Balaji Srinivasan: "With Mastering Bitcoin, Andreas Antonopoulos wrote one of the best technical books on digital currency. With The Internet of Money, he's matched that feat by compiling his talks into one of the best books on Bitcoin for a broad audience. Highly recommended!"

Raoul Pal: "This book will help you understand the technology and the philosophical potential of the [Bitcoin] space"

Michael Saylor recommended The Internet of Money on his Bitcoin website, Hope.com

Marc Andreessen: "Brynjolfsson and McAfee are right: we are on the cusp of a dramatically different world brought on by technology. 

The Second Machine Age is the book for anyone who wants to thrive in it. I’ll encourage all of our entrepreneurs to read it, and hope their competitors don’t."

Reid Hoffman: "The Second Machine Age offers important insights into how digital technologies are transforming our economy, a process that has only just begun.

Erik and Andrew’s thesis: As massive technological innovation radically reshapes our world, we need to develop new business models, new technologies, and new policies that amplify our human capabilities, so every person can stay economically viable in an age of increasing automation. I couldn’t agree more."

Raoul Pal said 'The Second Machine Age' influenced his macro thinking on Twitter.

Vitalik Buterin: "We've started new currencies. Now The Network State shows us how to start new cities and new countries."

Brian Armstrong: "Balaji is a visionary, and one of the most original thinkers of our time. Many have had the experience of hearing him say something, thinking it was crazy, and then a year or two later realizing 'Balaji was right.' I think Balaji will be right about The Network State."

Chamath Palihapitiya: "Rob’s story is incredible - if you want an inspiring read that is a study of becoming something from nothing, escaping every bad outcome society could throw at you but also what is possible when you grind in America, I would read 'Troubled'"

Marc Andreessen: "Book of the year"

Michael Mauboussin: "The whole book is great but I am encouraging friends and family to read the last couple of chapters in particular. He provides a healthy response to the rise of "luxury beliefs."

Garry Tan: "[Troubled] really spoke to me"

Michael Mauboussin: "[Secrets of Sand Hill Road] is great!"

Sam Altman: “I’ve observed thousands of founders and thought a lot about what it takes to create something important and to achieve outlier success.

Kupor’s book takes founders who want to do both through everything from how VCs raise money and evaluate deals, to how to think about term sheets and set up boards.

It’s a valuable resource for any founder who wants to work with VCs.”

Tobi Lutke: "A Guide to the Good Life is one of the best books I’ve ever read."

Marc Andreessen: "Best walk through the ancient/current philosophy of Stoicism. You can't control other people but you can control yourself, so do that."

Austen Allred: "[One of the books] that has inspired me the most or changed the way I live."

Marc Andreessen: "A bracing disassembly and reconstruction of a theory of individual progress in the modern world.

Fascinating compare and contrast with 'The Courage To Be Disliked'"

Naval Ravikant mentioned 12 Rules For Life on Twitter.

Mark Zuckerberg: "It's a book that explores how the world is shifting to give individual people more power that was traditionally only held by large governments, militaries and other organizations.

The trend towards giving people more power is one I believe in deeply, and I'm looking forward to reading this book and exploring this in more detail."

Arianna Huffington: "Compelling and original."

Marc Andreessen included this as one of 10 books to read to understand 'The Bonfire of the Universities'.

Seth Godin: "This is a vitally important book. Simple, powerful and generous, it should be required reading."

Michael Mauboussin: "Annie Duke gives you the tools you need and tells you how to use them effectively. Smart and practical, _How to Decide _is the best user's guide to decision-making that you'll find."

Marc Andreessen: "'The decisions you make are like a portfolio of investments.' I believe that almost everything can be viewed as a portfolio -- whether it's a set of products a single company decides to make, the schools and jobs and skills an individual invests in, and all kinds of life decisions.

The question is, how do we make sure that portfolio as a whole advances you toward your goals -- even though any individual decision within it is a win or loss?

In this new book, Annie provides exercises for how to decide. All of us -- not just investors -- should be obsessed with making better decisions."

Jack Dorsey: "Incredible book by Stewart Brand. Best I’ve read this year."

Marc Andreessen: "[A book on] why even environmentalists should be pro building, pro cities, pro nuclear, and pro genetic engineering."

Marc Andreessen included this as one of 10 more books to read to understand 'The Bonfire of the Universities'.

Matt Ridley: "A fascinating, surprising and beautifully written history of technology, economics, and culture, told through the thread of textiles, humanity's most indispensable artefacts. I loved it."

Marc Andreessen: "The story of technology is a story of human ingenuity, and nowhere is this more clear than in the story of textiles: the original technology, going beyond what we commonly think of as 'tech.'

As with many technologies, we suffer an amnesia about them when we enjoy them in abundance, as Postrel observes; her book gives us back our memories about this technology that we use every day without even knowing it."

Brianne Kimmel recommended 'The Fabric of Civilization' for anyone interested in the creator economy.

Marc Andreessen: "Talent is everything―whether in investing and building startups, or in other creative endeavors. Between product, market, and people, I've always bet on the last one as the biggest predictor of success.

But while talent may be everywhere, it's unevenly distributed, and hard to 'find.' So how do we better discover, filter, and match the best talent with the best opportunities? This book shares how, based on both scientific research and the authors' own experiences. The future depends on this know-how."

Sam Altman: "I do not know of any skills more worth developing than the ability to find exceptional undeveloped talent. I have spent many years trying to get good at that, and I was still astonished by how much I learned reading this book."

Balaji Srinivasan mentioned reading "Talent" on Twitter.

Chris Dixon: "Herman has been obsessed with the Metaverse for the (almost) 10 years I've known him - he finally wrote it all down in his excellent new book Virtual Society"

Raoul Pal enjoyed reading 'Conspiracy'.

Marc Andreessen: "Software is eating the world and 'Without Their Permission' is your ultimate cookbook."

Garry Tan: “Alexis and Steve’s reddit story is a the great American dream writ large and in digital ink. Alexis gives an approachable, easy-to-understand blueprint on how anyone with a laptop can touch millions of people’s lives and make something people love.”

Marc Andreessen: "Is the future knowable, and by whom? All pundits and commentators should publish their prediction track records, yet don't.

What to pay attention to and what to ignore."

Michael Mauboussin: "I love Jeffrey Friedman's new book, War and Chance. I feel the same sense of revelation as when I read Expert Political Judgment by Phil Tetlock"

Julian Guthrie: "[Larry Ellison picked up] his Kindle so he could finish reading 'Lone Survivor'. Larry had noted a page: 'The real battle is won in the mind.'"

Marc Andreessen: "The film was fine but the book is unreal; incredibly vivid story of superlative American heroes."

Brian Chesky: "I was living one life, kind of going down the predictable road, and I read this biography. That had a huge impact on me.”

Marc Andreessen: "Neal Gabler has written the best biography on Walt Disney. And it’s a phenomenal book."

Garry Tan: "Oh man I think I’m going to like this book"

Marc Andreessen: "[An important book] on the central role cities play in our world and why it's so important for us to build them -- more, bigger, better."

Marc Andreessen: "'Billions'-esque saga of global financial market manipulation, at mind-boggling scale and hiding in plain sight, by a small cabal of bankers in London."

Marc Andreessen: "Certainly the story is well known, but given author's propensity to post photos of himself wearing running shoes in Iowa, potentially relevant again starting next year?"

Marc Andreessen: "On the bus/in the plane with the Hillary campaign. Revealing in many dimensions at once, and highly entertaining.

Best book on the 2016 campaign so far?"

Marc Andreessen: "Startling walk through a series of domains where peak human performance is rising at remarkable rates due to 'flow state'.

Thought provoking and then some."

Marc Andreessen recommended 'The Myth of the Rational Voter' on Twitter.

Marc Andreessen: "Best book so far on the Democratic side of the 2016 race, most provocatively on the impact of the press coverage of the email hacks on the last stages of the race."

Marc Andreessen: "How to get along with people, how to deal with violence, how to adjust to losing someone you love—All versions of a bigger question: How do you live?"

Marc Andreessen: "True, chilling saga of straight up, profoundly deep treason and betrayal. Sociopaths in high positions of power and influence. Hair curling."

Marc Andreessen: "Inside story of how Britain decided to exit the EU.

Economic self-destruction or national liberation? Repercussions to play out for decades."

Marc Andreessen: "'Wall Street'-esque battle between Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn over unlikely target Herbalife.

Sip a delicious Herbal Aloe Shake while reading."

Marc Andreessen: "Wide-ranging meditation on how to think about the reality that we're probably wrong about most things we believe.

Hard to read and not emerge humbled."

Marc Andreessen: "One perspective on the politics of immgiration in Europe, playing out in real time.

Confusing on multiple levels from US perspective."

Marc Andreessen: "Spellbinding creative and business history of the incredibly imaginative comic book industry in the decades before it ate Hollywood."

Marc Andreessen: "Visceral, raw, you-are-there recounting of living through the hack attacks and resulting meltdown of the DNC in 2016."

Marc Andreessen: "How 1960s racial politics descended into 1970s terrorist bombings, thanks to privileged college students breaking very bad."

Marc Andreessen: "The founding and growth of military contractor Blackwater as told by its founder and CEO; newly relevant due to the Mueller investigation."

Marc Andreessen: "The astonishing story of the Litvinenko and Perepilichnyy assassinations in the UK; reads like a Lee Child thriller; plenty topical now."

Marc Andreessen: "The Schultz biography is amazing.

Basically, the biographer makes the case that Peanuts was the longest, continuous work of American art ever made."

Marc Andreessen: "The book that's had the biggest impact on me."

Come for the enthusiastic 1970's advocacy of Marxism; stay for the post-1989 appendix that explains how collapse of the Soviet Union actually proves Marx was right."

Marc Andreessen: "Interesting book!"
