I’m really big into reading business books, especially marketing books. I always find other people train of thought interesting, especially when it comes to business. I have read some really great ones and some that were terrible, but I always manage to learn something from them.
Not too long ago I finished The 4 Hour Work Week. It was mostly fluff, but had a good bit of interesting ideas and theories.
What is your favorite business book and why? Are there any that you would suggest NOT to pick up?

I have read the 4 hour workweek as well and found it had some pretty good bits of info. Another really good book i read a few times was Often Wrong, Never in Doubt: Unleash the Business Rebel Within by Donny Deutsch, he gives some really good insight on how he built his business and all the crap he went through to get there. And of course most of the Donald Trump books are good too, no nonsense was of looking at things. Anyway, just my 2 cents.
Thanks,
Rex
Nice collection of templates & Its a good business book there is you collect a right information about templates logos and relates web site.
@Rex Any Donald Trump book you recommend over the others?
Lean Thinking, The World is Flat, and the E Myth are pretty standard business school reads. Will you post your list when you are done?
I also thought the 4 hour work week all fluff. Have you ever read the Graphic Designer’s Creative Guide to Marketing? Pretty good book.
@Calvin That sounds like a cool book. Is it on Amazon?
Anything by Seth Godin, particularly The Purple Cow and The Big Red Fez. “The Design of Sites” is a handy reference too.
@Danny “Why We Want You to Be Rich” the one Donald Trump did with Robert Kiyosaki, and “How to get rich” were both good books.
“Small Is The New Big” by Seth Godin. First he propose some weird new ideas, then he awed you with his arguments, next thing you know you’re doing what the man says you do.
Good read all in all.
I just want to bring your attention on the best selling book “Earning Serendipity” Written by the Cuban American author Glenn Llopis. “Earning Serendipity” is a book that illustrates a entirely new way of thinking about your business and everyday life. Great work Glenn! Glenn Llopis, your book offers more down -to-earth, practical and commonsense knowledge versus most other books that try to sell me unrealistic concepts. Earning Serendipity is a constant incentive and perennial source of inspiration for go-getters. It allowed me to experience my goals and taught me the meaning of success in simple ways that benefited me and those around me. I am motivated to take actions in the right way not the easy way Glenn, your book changed my life forever!
Favourite Business book is BusinessBrief from http://www.knowledgebrief.com has 100 business concept overviews, concise and all identically laid out making comparison so easy, and if you need more information it has print and web resources direct to all the information on each concept… saves so much time
