Ran across this excellent list by John Kaufman. I’ve read probably 40% of these books and tend to agree with his selections. I tend to read 3-5 business books a year. Typically I identify at least 3-4 key concepts from each that shape the way I think.
I recommend doing the 10-days to Faster Reading as the first selection. I was already a fast reader when I read this (surprise to me - I thought I was slow), but actually improved my reading speed by 25% on average and my scanning speed by 100%. I’ve learned that for most business books, you can scan 50% of it and slow down and read 50%.
If you get through these 77 books - I will hereby annoint you with the the letters P.M.B.A. behind your name (though your mileage may vary)! Pick a couple, you might learn something!
