I always wonder why companies want to grow big so fast. I saw many small-scale businesses that have been running profitably for a decade. Why they did not think about growing so fast. I found most of those answers in this book called “Small Giants”. http://burhanrashid52.com/2021/05/21/small-giants/

I briefly started reading "Seneca : Letters from a Stoic" (the internet archive version). It is good, but to me a bit long-winded. Are there any other books on similar topics that you would recommend?

How do you guys find time to read books? Do you read it one go I mean complete it in few days or just read 20-30pages daily?

I have a dilemma on book-reading on which I seek wider views. Some books take longer to drench you in. You have to keep going at it for 100-150 pages without getting hooked. But at the end, there's an obvious reward. I appreciate the fact that book-reading is very subjective. You may hate a book that the entire world has loved. And that's okay. But you have been told, you have read in the reviews, that it's a gem! What's your thought process when you are trying to read such a book? What's the breaking point at which you say to yourself, 'That's it. I am not reading any further. Let's move on to next one. There are so many books to read, why waste time on this one?' [I am putting up this question for reading a full-length book, and not audibles or abridgements.]

I love memoirs. You're literally in their minds, learning how they feel, think and react at pivotal moments that made them who they are. These are my Top 3️⃣ 1. Can't Hurt Me - You learn about how he was able to push through and do these and the mindset he uses. This guy is one hard motherfcuker “You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft, that you will die without ever realizing your true potential.” 2. Revolution in the Valley - Andy Hertzfeld tells the awesome story of how the groundbreaking Macintosh computer was born. Jobs is there too but this is about the people who worked behind the scenes to make it happen. If you love startups, do read. 3. Shoe Dog - Phil Knight shares his incredible journey of how he started Nike. from a poor college kid who loves to run and the ups and downs he faced to build Nike as it is now. do you guys have any other suggestions?
