YouTube superstar Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, has shared a list of his top book recommendations, ranging from biographies of the legendary Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs to Tesla Inc. co-founder Elon Musk.
What Happened: MrBeast has shared several book recommendations over the years. Many of these books revolve around entrepreneurship and ideas to stay motivated about achieving goals, with the list being compiled by a user Alex And Books On X (formerly Twitter).
The YouTube sensation, renowned for his inventive content and philanthropic endeavors, said he has read two books on Musk, saying he "looks up to" and "respects the hell out of" him.
The two books MrBeast recommended on Musk are "Elon Musk" by Ashlee Vance and the most recent one by Walter Isaacson.
"Steve Jobs" is another Isaacson book that MrBeast has recommended – the biography delves deep into the life of Jobs and his dramatic ups and downs that defined one of the most iconic titans in the world of technology.
Although MrBeast has recommended "Michael Jordan The Life" by Roland Lazenby at one point, he has since replaced it with "Zero To One" by Blake Masters and Peter Thiel.
MrBeast's top two favourite books are “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey and “The Four” by Scott Galloway.
He finds Covey's book to be "Hands down the best book ever," while Galloway's book on the four Big Tech companies is his second favorite book. "I love learning about big companies."
Lastly, "The Goal" by Eliyahu M. Goldratt MrBeast is another one of MrBeast's favorites. "I make everyone I know read it."
Why It Matters: MrBeast’s book recommendations reflect his entrepreneurial spirit and his journey from a regular YouTuber to a successful business owner.
His endorsement of “Zero To One,” a book that offers insights into startup culture and innovation, aligns with his own business ventures.
MrBeast’s influence extends beyond YouTube, with his ventures like MrBeast Burger and Feastables demonstrating his business acumen.
