Consider Shoe Dog by Phil Knight. Recommended by 54 sources.

“Phil Knight’s memoir is a raw, first-person sprint through Nike’s chaotic early years, loaded with near-bankruptcies, strained partnerships, and the obsessive hustle of an underdog. The useful part is its unfiltered look at the emotional cost of entrepreneurship—the sleepless nights, the lawsuits, the brinkmanship. It will lose you when the endless travelogue and repetitive financial close-shaves start to feel like a highlight reel without a clear lesson, and Knight’s own voice can grow self-mythologizing.”
