This summer, I found the book, The Best Business Books Ever: The Most Influential Management Books You’ll Never Have Time To Read. It provides pithy 2 page summaries of the 130 most influential business books. The summaries make CliffsNotes look like encyclopedias!
But the range of books and authors is impressive – from classics like Drucker and Adam Smith to more contemporary like Malcom Gladwell and Thomas Friedman.
I like it for three reasons:
- It gives me a memory jolt for those books I’ve read
- It gives me a preview for books I think I might want to read – so that I can make a good decision about to invest my time (or not)
- It enables me to get to the essence of a book that I might never tackle
What books would you place on the “Most Influential Business Book” list?
