    What are some of the best business books you have read? Lets start a biz book thread.

    I highly recommend:

    Think and Grow Rich, By Napoleon Hill (absolute business classic)
    Awaken the Giant Within, By Anthony Robbins (inner self business)
    Mastery, By Robert Greene
    The Prince, By Niccolo Machiavelli (pretty diabolical book, but read for reference because there are business people/politicians/powerful people like this...be three steps ahead)
    Failing Forward, By John Maxwell
    The Power of Positive Thinking, By Norman Vincent Peale (Donald Trumps favorite from what I understand)

    What to you guys and gals suggest?

    A couple of my favorites...

    The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris
    The $100 Dollar Startup by Chris Gillebeau

    I have read both multiple times and have found actionable items that I can apply to my business each time I review the material.

    I quickly read this one time. It was good. What I like most about it was how the information was delivered...Tim Ferris is pretty funny. Book made me LOL quite a few times. :)

    If you like this one, might I suggest you read this one below. Much much better in my humble opinion and along the same niche as FHWW.

    The Millionaire Fastlane    , By MJ DeMarco

    People so quickly forget the importance of social media. I'd definitely recommend:
    Jab Jab Jab Right Hook by Gary Vaynerchuck
    Tweet Naked Scott Levy

    Well, I will recommend a book I haven't read, I am not sure if I have started reading it or not, but I don't remember fully reading it. It's about sales and general business mindset and I am recommending it, because I do take some time in researching which books to read before starting them, or at least I do that in some of the cases. So when I have researched for good self-improvement books, this was highly recommended: The greatest salesman in the world by Og Mandino

    And I think the book would be useful for the people who read it mainly because it's not on the principle ''read it and try to understand it'', but on the principle ''read this chapter multiple times, practice it and then move to the next chapter''. Which in some cases is better, because some people need a proven system to follow in order to really take action about what they want.
