I gave up on Ben Horowitz's "Hard thing about hard things" halfway through because he's just such a douchebag and because I really don't need to know how to be a CEO of a company. I was told the lessons were translatable to other endeavors but they're not. So I picked up Jon Ronson's The Men Who Stare At Goats and it's f'n awesome, as Ronson books tend to be.

40-something and Andreesen Horowitz, but yeah.
