As I write this, we are in lockdown due to the unprecedented crisis brought about by the COVID-19 coronavirus. It will be a period when some people have a bit more time on their hands than usual, and they might be looking for some ideas of what to read to help while away the long days and nights at home. So I have put together some inspirational books to read during lockdown.
I am a big Audible fan; I normally spend a lot of time on the road visiting customers and I find it a perfect time to listen to books. I am particularly interested in stories about other tech companies and the people that built them, as well as books that help us understand the skills and attributes that make tech founders successful.
The one take away I would suggest from all these books is that these founders are normal people, just like you and me. Sure, some are extraordinarily focused, naturally gifted, or workaholics but they all started from the same point; an idea, combined with an unwavering passion to turn that idea into reality.
So here are a few of my favourite books that have inspired me over the years and I hope will inspire and distract you whilst in lockdown.
If any of these books inspire you to come up with an amazing idea for an application and you are looking for a software development company, we may well be able to help. Why not get in touch or send us the details of your project so we can discuss your ideas.
