Every Entrepreneur Should Read These 3 Books
About this episode
What if you could only read three books this year?
Which books would give you the greatest return on your time—not just in business, but in life?
In this episode, Gino Barbaro shares the three books that have had the biggest impact on how he negotiates, builds habits, thinks about money, and ultimately leads both in business and at home.
These aren't just business books.
They're books that can fundamentally change the way you think, act, communicate, and make decisions.
📚 Book #1: Never Split the Difference – Chris Voss
Former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss reveals why successful negotiation isn't about dominating the conversation—it's about listening.
You'll learn:
• How mirroring builds trust
• The power of tactical empathy
• Why people want to feel understood
• How accusation audits eliminate objections
• How listening can become your greatest advantage
Gino also shares a real-life multifamily negotiation story where these principles helped secure an incredible off-market deal.
📚 Book #2: Atomic Habits – James Clear
Success isn't built through massive breakthroughs.
It's built through small actions repeated consistently.
You'll discover:
• Why systems beat goals
• How to create habits that stick
• The importance of identity-based change
• How to fall in love with the process
• Why consistency compounds over time
Whether you're trying to grow a business, improve your health, strengthen relationships, or invest in real estate, the right systems change everything
