I won't spent to long on this, but if you are the CEO of an early stage startup, I would highly recommend reading: Be Smarter than your Lawyer and Venture Capitialist by Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson. They go through a platonic term sheet with very practical explanations and commentary. Once you start down the financing path and someone says they want participating preferred, you don't want your response to be a Donald Trumpian:"I know what that is, but give me more." You want to have a thought out, principled, response. Well worth educating yourself on the more common "Gotcha's."

My Phd was in Behavioral Economics and Kahneman co-invented the field. This books sums up Kahneman's observations over an almost 50 year career. Amazing, though not for the uninitiated, overveiw of how people actually make decisions.
This is a great read if your organization is just starting to realize the importance of analytics as a competitive advantage.
