Marco revisits four books important to his development: Seth Godin's Unleashing the Ideavirus, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, Michael Gerber's The E-Myth and Rory Sutherland's Alchemy. He connects them respectively to spreading ideas, principles for choosing how to work, organizing a business and understanding less obvious drivers of behavior. He first notes that reading habits change: in recent years he has devoted substantial time to chess and audio or video content. Leafing through books, he rediscovers notes and small objects and recalls a borrowed book never returned. His suggestions are grounded in personal experience. He ends by playfully settling the background question, picking up a stack of books he identifies as real. Marco says he receives no payment for recommending these books.

- The E-Myth encouraged him to build the business rather than remain trapped in it.
