Sandberg has said that "Portfolios of the Poor: How the World's Poor Live on $2 a Day" by Daryl Collins, Jonathan Morduch, Stuart Rutherford, and Orlanda Ruthven is a read that inspired her work. The book aims to "systematically explain how the poor find solutions to their everyday financial problems."
Some of Sandberg's other favourites:

"Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton.
"The Muqaddimah: An Introduction to History" by Ibn Khaldun.
