Summary:This book felt a bit like cheating, it's a summary of 50 classics. I'm glad I delved into it though because it helped me accrue a vast amount of well-distilled information. Lots of which came from dated books that I may not find relevant or palatable in their entirety. The author has a knack for this process of distillation, and seems to have made a career from it. The chapters are bite-sized, well formatted and the books are well chosen. I would recommend this book to anyone reading bus...
If you're looking for a guide to read which book for a specific insight or category of business, this book provides 50 helpful and concise book summary to narrow down into the book that will be suitable for you. The book provides 3 categories of: Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Management & Leadership, Strategy & Marketing. All those 50 book summary is claimed to be Business Classic because based on the author they remain relevant despite of the book's age and the business landscape that is const...
A fantastic stepping stoneI thoroughly enjoyed this book and believe it to be a stepping stone into greater things. In fact I've added it's recommendations to my Amazon kindle but lost to purchase in the future. Well worth it.
Entertaining read
Some summaries of some really good books.Introduction 1. P. T. Barnum – The Art of Money Getting (1880) There are no shortcuts to business success; good character is everything… and it helps to advertise 2. Richard Branson – Losing My Virginity (1998) Don’t be afraid to be different. On entering any new field or an industry, aim to really shake it up and provide new value 3. Andrew Carnegie – The Gospel of Wealth (1899) The wealth creator has a moral obligation to enrich the lives of others in w...
Business books carry, maybe, one good idea each. You then get a lot of real life examples trying to push that idea as the one true condition in which you will get the desired result. This is the first issue with these books. Then you get an extra 300 pages with, just, words. Most of them only try to flatter the people who read them. And these are business books (self help books in reality) in a nutshell. This one proves it. Also why is Trump's book included here? Εμετός.
I enjoyed it until the end when he mentioned people rising to the top of their incompetence and then referred to President Trump and asked the question ,"While he may be good in business, does that make him good to be president?". This question was posed "hypothetically" even though it had nothing to do with the book that was being reviewed. He exposed his liberal bias at that point and I wrote the book off as more fake news.
Bukunya bagus, tetapi dengan segudang ide yang bisa ditangkap membuat buku ini sedikit berat dan juga tidak cocok untuk dibaca secara cepat.Idenya berpindah secara tidak beraturan dan melompat-lompat, mungkin cukup keren jika digunakan untuk referensi membaca buku bisnis
Fantastic book to be aware of the business leaders, their strategy, management, philosophies, success, failure, and life!
This book is like a glossary for other business books. Very interesting to know about so many books in a nutshell.
It's a summary of the 50 best books in business (as per the author). Now, I know that sounds bad, and much like some of the start-ups which make 5 min audio clips from books. But it's actually a great book for 2 reasons.1. Based on a couple of books I had read from within the list, the distillation is a good job- clear and gets the crux of the story well.2. Coming from a non- business background, I think this was much needed for me to understand some business vocabulary and perspective. Atleast
If you read nothing else on Business, start with this book. This book will guide you exploring important topics on business whie giving you stellar insight from the world's best mind. Some key points standout to me:1. Great companies often times are not the most innovative ones, but research shown that the characteristic of great enduring companies is by being innovative enough, having discipline/self-control and maintaing risk averse so they could withstand economic downturn. 2.
