I’ve made list of a number of business books that I’ve read over the years, some of which are commonly-known classics and a few of which I revisit fairly frequently. They are all of great value to me and I can recommend them all for different reasons or purposes. They are listed in no particular order so take a look and let me know what I’m missing from the list as I get a lot of pleasure adding to it.
