What are my top three business books, and why? This is a fun topic. I think my list is always changing, but for today this is my list.
1. Jesus, CEO by Laurie Beth Jones: This book teaches you how the greatest man who ever lived could build an enterprise using resources with varying skill sets and backgrounds that still exist today– 2020 years later.
2. Get Over Your Damn Self by Romi Neustadt: This is my “Stop the self-pity” book. Romi teaches frontline tactics for tackling tough tasks. It helped me breathe and stop overcomplicating things.
3. Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don’t Matter: by Scott Adams. I love Scott Adams’ humor and his Dilbert cartoons. However, this book is about knowing how to persuade by appealing to others’ emotions, as well as guarding yourself against emotional persuasion.
That’s my list for today, but I’ve enjoyed many great books on leadership, self-improvement, strategic planning, and other business topics. Tomorrow, my list might be quite different.
