Just want to point out that lists like these do suffer from <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias>.

Also: it's quite possible that luck and generational wealth is a huge factor to whether or not you become profitable, in which case their book recommendations may or may not be useful.

And finally: did these founders read these books _before_ they became profitable, or afterwards? As the website says: "a few [succesful founders] weren't into reading books at all"
