Best Business Books

  • The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason
  • The first book anybody should read IMO. Such a classic that when it was first published, CEO’s bought full lots to gift to their managers and closest friends. If you enjoy this, also check out Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, which is similar but more contemporary and inspirational.

  • How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
  • Charisma is a learnable skill. One of the most influential books you’ll ever read.

  • The One-Minute Manager by Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson
  • A very short story that reveals how to get the most out of people with the least amount of time. A must read if you hire even one contractor or employee.

  • Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
  • THE business classic. It’s been said, that you can see the difference in your employees who have read this book and those who haven’t. Your personal productivity will go through the roof too. It’s crazy but true because it changes your mindset. Who is John Galt? I am bitch.

  • The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
  • When you want still more Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead is her second cult classic story book for entrepreneurs. “The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.”

  • The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
  • The best personal development book around.

  • Good to Great by Jim Collins
  • Another classic. Actionable information backed by results of real world successes.
