Those two books are pretty good to. But think and grow rich is way better than Donald trump's book.

"The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles.
Getting rich is not a matter of luck, timing, or environment. There is a science behind it and this book explains it well.

How to Get Rich by Felix Dennis is my favorite book I've read about business..

**bronsond** · 07-02-2009 03:15 PM

Mine has to be Screw Let's Do It by Richard Branson. The way he approaches business is something totally different than normal business leaders. Another thing he mentions in the book is you must follow your passion, if you not enjoying something rather leave it and do something you enjoy and see yourself doing for the next 10 to 15 years depending on how long you see yourself working or running a business.

Losing my virginity -richard branson. pretty much got me into business.

**mark6789** · 07-03-2009 12:01 AM

The Richest Man in Babylon -- best book ever!!

I have read many books on business, but the book which influenced me most is “Keeping Better Company: Corporate Governance Ten Years On” by Jonathan Charkham 2nd Edition.

This is book gave me insight of how large companies are managed in large economies.

**Perseus** · 07-05-2009 07:53 PM

To the list of above books I would definitely add:
"Awaken the giant within" by Tony Robbins, though not a proper business book, it helps to manage one's own psychology and condition for success.
"My Life and work" by Henry Ford, helps to see a "big picture" of building a business empire.
"How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie, pretty powerfull book, helps you to deal effectively with other people.
"Increase your financial IQ" by Robert Kiyosaki, more lessons and fresh points of view from good old Kiyosaki.

I also think How to Get Rich by Felix Dennis is amazing too. It's to the point, amusing and extreamly well written and poetic. He is a publisher (Maxim, Stuff, MacUser etc.) and worth about $500-900,000,000!!! ALL SELF MADE!

Another book i highly suggest is Dan Kennedys No B.S to Wealth Attraction.

Anyone ever thought about or would to ever write a book on entrepreneurism?

N.

i also agree. also good, In Search of Excellence

Just from scanning this thread, I have already said my two chosen books numerous times.

Think and Grow Rich and Rich Dad Poor Dad.

I have the strangest feeling that "The 4 Hour Work Week" is going to be one of my new favorites.
