Should you have to time read during the upcoming holidays, here’s a reading list that’s highly recommended. This comes from Sam Parr of the Hustle. He recommended this list in 2015 and according to him, you’ll know more than 99% of MBA graduates once you’ve gone through these books. I’ve read Mastery and 48 Laws of Power so far. Both great reads.
“Titan: The life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.” by Ron Chernow – A must read for anyone interested in business | “The 48 Laws of Power” by Robert Greene – Strategy: How to navigate the corporate world |
“Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion” by Robert B. Cialdini – Sales: Getting people to buy what you’re selling | “Letters to Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders” by Warren Buffett – Communication: You need to know how to talk good |
