Here is my list of 2016:
- The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory
- The 48 Laws Of Power
- Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
- Crossing the Chasm
- The Richest Man in Babylon
- Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
- Europe: A History
- The Penguin History of Europe
- The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon
- Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
Every of the books was awesome. The only thing is that I haven't finished Europe: A History from Norman and read The Penguin History of Europe instead because the Norman book was just too long for me. But It has way more details.
I switch between business-related books and non-business related (it can be everything from philosophy to language history to hardcore science) but I don't read fiction (The Richest Man in Babylon is fictional, but still the focus is on self-development).
Hope you could see some titles that might interest you.
- bcbrown 10y agoWhat did you think of 48 Laws of Power? I read a couple pages, but found it to mostly be excuses for being a jerk. I enjoyed Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and Elegant Universe.
- merrua 10y agoThe book 'The Richest Man in Babylon' is available to read online at archive.org https://archive.org/stream/RichestManInBabylon_650/the_richest_man_in_babylon_djvu.txt https://archive.org/stream/RichestManInBabylon_650/the_riche...
- 100k 10y agoFinishing Europe: A History was a challenge but I really enjoyed it (especially his focus on "outlying" states). Norman Davies's No Simple Victory is also worth checking out. It's probably the best book I've read about World War 2.
