I read a lot of business books.
It all started when I had an interest in doing an MBA course.
I came across a website by Josh Kaufman who said “don’t bother spending $100k+ on an MBA, you can learn everything you need to know from my list of 99 business books”.
I read through his list (at a rate of 1.5 business books per week) and just kept going!
I’ve now read over 200 business books since August 2008.
For a few dollars we get to reach into the minds of the greatest business people and steal their ideas, what a privilege!
I highlight my favourite parts from these books and turn these business book summaries into articles for my website.
A few years ago I compiled 67 summaries from my favourite business books into an ebook, and just this week I updated this ebook with an additional 20 summaries, bringing the total to 87.
I’ve called it “What 87 of the Best Business Books in the World Have to Teach You”.
Can you answer “YES!” to the following questions?:
- Do you like the idea of feeding your mind with high quality business books but have trouble finding the time?
- Would you like some of the best business books on the planet summarised into easily digestible chunks?
- Would you like to have the important lessons highlighted for you and for it to be easy for you to identify the best books that you’d like to read in their entirety?
If you answered “YES!” to those questions, then my ebook “What 87 of the Best Business Books in the World Have to Teach You” is for you.
