Good business book reads

That thread was almost 6 years ago I’d rather have something more current. I was torn between going here or the business board.

Couple recent good ones:
—American Icon by Bryce Hoffman (about Alan Mullaly and the turn around of Ford)
—Jobs by Issacson
—Shoedog by Phil Knight (Nike)
—The Snowball by Schroeder (Warren Buffet)
—Delivering Happiness by Hsiesh (Zappos)
—Principles by Dalio (Bridgewater Associates)
—The Everything Store by Stone (Amazon)
—The Virgin Way by Branson (Virgin)
—Elon musk by Vance (Tesla, SpaceX, Solarcity)
—Titan by Chernow (Rockefeller/Standard Oil)

You may try Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss.

He can be a bit guru douche on his podcasts but his books are pretty solid.

Not what the OP asked for but if anyone reading this is looking for something sales related...The Challenger Sale and The Challenger Customer are hands down the 2 best sales books I've ever read. A must read if you work in any kind of long/complex sales cycle.

48 Laws of Power

quote:

---

A moral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills three thousand years of the history of power into forty-eight well-explicated laws. As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. Some laws require prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), some stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and some the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally") but like it or not, all have applications in real-life situations. Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P. T. Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded -- or been victimized by -- power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.
