The PayPal Wars: Battles with eBay, the Media, the Mafia, and the Rest of Planet Earth
book
by Eric M. Jackson
Max Levchin's Review:
What are your thoughts on the “The Paypal Wars” book?
Mixed bag — some stuff is spot on, some views/explanations are fairly one-sided, and [there are] a handful of factual errors. Eric was there for a lot of the action, but not all of it, and so some of that shows. Generally, still an entertaining read.
The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers
book

Max Levchin's Review:
What’s your favorite business book you’d recommend to young entrepreneurs and why?
Some good ones from the “pure business” category: Zero to One, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, The Innovator’s Dilemma, Good to Great, etc.

Max Levchin's Review:
Personally, I prefer less advice, more history. From my favorite business segment: Too Big To Fail, Ascent of Money, When Genius Failed, etc. Books on applied psychology (Influence, Predictably Irrational) are another way to round out primarily technological education.
