55 Good Business Books for Your Library…and your mind
If you would like to increase your business knowledge, every couple of weeks consider reading a book from the list below.
Treat the book as a learning experience, underline points that resonate with you, write in the margins, and highlight key phrases or even paragraphs, making them easy to find for future reference. You may even want to create a short summary of the book for your future use.
There are hundreds of great business books out there and thousands of other business books as well; these are some of my favorites. Enjoy the list.
