<p>Recommend good business books in this thread. Name a book, and tell what it is about. Also tell what level you should be at to be able to read this. For example, entry level, MBA student, future management consultant , etc.</p>

<p>Books can be about, </p>

<p>-business in general
-making money books
-good financial tips books
-industry specific books</p>

<p>Just any book, that you think was worth reading, whether it was industry specific, or in general, just recommend some. It can be for entry-level business studetns, all the way to PhD..</p>

<p>Accounting 101.</p>

<p>A book I just started that seems interesting to me…</p>

<p>Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive</p>

<p>The book explains different studies and how they changed things to make people act a certain way. It’s a great book so far, but I haven’t finished it. I think it would be an interesting read for a business major, but anyone can read it (I’m only in high school). My dad (who was a mechanical engineer) also read the book and enjoyed it.</p>

<p>Books are great, but the are nothing unless you use them.</p>

<p>I like the Strength Finder series, though many people degrade them.</p>

<p>I also like Critical Chain and The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt</p>

<p>I wouldn’t waste time with more than one leadership book like “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”, after that you’re just reading for fun.</p>

<p>Atlas Shrugged</p>

<p>I have been recommended “Who Moved My Cheese” on several occasions, never read it though, and it’s really short.</p>

<p>Others?</p>

<p>billion dollar lessons</p>

<p>bargaining for advantage</p>

<p>An Empire of Wealth by John Steele Gordon. It’s an economic history of the United States from the times of the colonies to the decades after World War II. </p>

<p>It’s 400-something pages (which means that it’s not all that thorough), but it’s not a difficult read (it was written in 2004), so I’d say it’s pretty accessible to anyone with an interest in history.</p>
