ABSTRACT

Anyone who writes business books is asked the same question: “What is your favorite business book?” (Other than the one you have written.) It seems that literally hundreds of business books are written each week, so it is increasingly hard to discern the good ones from the bad ones. Some are CEO vanity books, some are two ideas that stretch out to three hundred pages. Since I do write business books and I am asked that question about the best ones, I surprise people with my answer. To me, the three best business books are not specific to authors. They are not specific to a discipline. They are not specific to a particular school of thought or methodology.
