Love this exercise (I read a non-fiction book a week, so I think about this a lot!). I’d definitely put an EA book in the top 5, but I think we get more differentiated advantage by adding non-EA books too. My list:
On Direction and Measuring Your Impact—Doing Good Better
On Past-Facing Pattern Matching from History—Sapiens
On Future-Facing Tech Trends—Machine, Platform, Crowd
On Prioritization and Process—Running Lean
On Communication—An Everyone Culture
Honorable Mentions:
Influence/Hooked/Thinking Fast and Slow (on behavioral psychology)
World After Capital/Homo Deus/The Inevitable (more macro trends)
Designing Your Life (process)
Nonviolent Communication (communication)
