The User Manual for Founder Psychology (Scale Yourself)
From thefoundercoach.com by Amy Buechler medium
Why we picked it
Written by YC's first Batch Director who coached nearly a thousand early-stage founders, this is a practitioner's library of frameworks for founder resilience and psychology, grounded, not theoretical.
- Founder psychology is a learnable system, not a fixed trait, frameworks help you manage your own mind
- Most founders hide their fears; naming them with a coach or peer defuses their power
- Peer support and coaching are performance tools used by top founders, not signs of weakness
- Managing your inner state is upstream of managing your company
