What business books do you recommend as the most informative/useful?

Question

I would likto read some books on business. All suggestions backed by reasons for being chosen would be very welcome.

Answer 1

No lie:

Sun Tzu, Art of War - classic tactics
The Way of Kings - classic philosophy
Leadership secrets of Attila the Hun - Classic Strategy
I could do anything if I only knew what it was - Goal setting
Wishcraft - open minded goal setting, planning.
The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make - Leadership good reference.

Above All:
Tony Robbins Books---
Awakwening The Giant Within
Powertalk! Tapes series.
- Goal setting, all around. It's an unusual format, but it is definitely an effective path, i.e. Set a goal, work every day, monitor am I getting there, evaluate. Changed my life, I retired at 32. One day, I will shake his hand for helping me to set myself up for life.

Studying Japanese philosophers won't hurt, either. The Shambala Books series, tiny paperbacks crammed full of knowledge & wisdom.

Stay away from the taoist Chinese stuff for a while, until you are very advanced, it is confusing for the average person who is not ready, but later on, once mastery is there, its like a nice frosting for the soul.

Good Luck.
