Can you see a pattern here?
No, you can’t!
In fact, there is no pattern! You can’t blindly
follow someone’s book list and wish to become successful like her. You can at
best try to understand that person’s thought process by reading his suggested
books.
The only pattern you will find is, all
successful people are avid readers. They read books, and there are zillions of
books that you can’t even read their titles in your lifetime. There is no exact
booklist for everybody. You can’t expect to start SpaceX by reading Russian
Rocket Manual. Or perhaps you can, but then you need to have the other
personality traits of Elon Musk more than his reading habits. Or maybe, you
possess something extraordinary beyond our present perception. Whatever the
case is, don’t think you have to read every book listed by the successful
person. That is not required to be successful.
If it were, then Mark Zuckerberg’s booklist
would have emulated Warren Buffet’s!
