Dedicated to the notion that knowledge often comes when you’re studying something else, I offer up the following pre-enterpreneur (incidentally also the pre Columbia University Entrepreneurship in Biotechnology course) reading (or listening or watching) list.
Joe Hyams: Zen in the Martial Arts. Focus. Calm. Wisdom. How to learn. I have given this book to so many people over the years I have lost count. Available used on Amazon for 2 cents. Barry Targan’s 1975 short story “Harry Belten and the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.” Google it. Not only the best short story I have ever read but a great illustration of the heart of entrepreneurship: how to handle being right when everyone else is wrong. Read and enjoy.
