      13. American Kingpin — @NickBilton (2017) Great write up of the rise and fall of the online Silk Road black market. Nick makes you feel like you were in the room. https://www.amazon.com/American-Kingpin-Catching-Billion-Dollar-Baron-ebook/dp/B01N03G5NZ …pic.twitter.com/uVY8WENp92

      14. Turn The Ship Around — @LDavidMarquet (2012) We tend to judge leaders while they are in their role, even though the litmus test is whether the team keeps running when the leader steps aside. One of my all time favorite management books. https://www.amazon.com/Turn-Ship-Around-Building-Breaking-ebook/dp/B015QQ10HE/ …pic.twitter.com/lZAHRKM1KG

      15. Uncommon Service — Frances Frei & @AnneMorriss (2012) Persuasive argument for choosing explicitly what to be good and what to be bad at in a service business, instead of trying to do everything. https://www.amazon.com/Uncommon-Service-Putting-Customers-Business-ebook/dp/B006VFJK5Y/ …pic.twitter.com/yEMya8nvMf

      16. Bringing Up Bébé — @PamelaDruck (2012) Surprisingly fascinating read about raising children in France. Provides great insights into basic principles you can apply, from how to get a baby to sleep full nights to setting rules and keeping yourself sane https://www.amazon.com/Bringing-Up-Bébé-Discovers-Parenting-ebook/dp/B00MNNAODK/ …pic.twitter.com/g7TZkzXD7c

      17. The Upstarts — @BradStone (2017) Great sourcing on the story of Uber and Airbnb. The book came out just as Uber hit a bumpy 2017, which means it’s a waiting game to see if @MikeIsaac’s upcoming book will take the crown for being the definitive read. https://www.amazon.com/Upstarts-Airbnb-Companies-Silicon-Changing-ebook/dp/B01E7Q3MK2/ …pic.twitter.com/kJS3KyPTpA

      18. Guns, Germs, and Steel — Jared Diamond (1997) Why did Europeans colonize the Americas, instead of Incas the other way around? Jared’s theory is that agricultural innovation spread along the East-West latitudes/climates through Europe and Asia. https://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Fates-Societies-ebook/dp/B06X1CT33R/ …pic.twitter.com/6wIS6e96Qa

      19. Hatching Twitter — @NickBilton (2013) This book truly tells the story of the Twitter “clown car,” and how people in- and outside the company don’t really know what this service is or how it should work. https://www.amazon.com/Hatching-Twitter-Nick-Bilton-ebook/dp/B00CTMAAKW …pic.twitter.com/NJwoUIR6JP

      20. Game Change — @JHeil & @MarkHalperin (2010) This is a juicy book about Obama’s historic election and goes deep on multiple candidates. It, unfortunately, still treats politics as a battle of personalities instead of policies. https://www.amazon.com/Game-Change-Clintons-McCain-Lifetime-ebook/dp/B0033V4SDI/ …pic.twitter.com/iAsmJTmLEj

      21. Dream Machine — M. Mitchell Waldrop (2002) Personal computer technology took decades to develop, needed billions in defense funding, and was driven by a small group of visionaries. Nothing about the supercomputer in your pockets was inevitable. https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Machine-M-Mitchell-Waldrop-ebook/dp/B07GBCX7YC/ …pic.twitter.com/us6EJ5kXwG

      22. Factfulness — @HansRosling (2018) Your view of the world is horribly outdated and causes you to make bad decisions. For one, emerging markets don’t exist anymore. Watch his TED talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen … https://www.amazon.com/Factfulness-Reasons-Wrong-Things-Better-ebook/dp/B0769XK7D6/ …pic.twitter.com/xuUNIh5YHN

      To add a bit more context: This is what Rosling means by “emerging markets are no more.” Between 1965 and now, the world has become more equal than most people realize.
