    What is the most valuable business book you have ever read, and why? - Entrepreneur Polls

    Time fly's and so do the Polls! It's time for another one!

    This week we are asking;

    "What is the most valuable business book you have ever read, and why?"

    I am a huge fan of the 4 hour work week by Tim Ferris. It offers a realistic approach to all entrepreneurs who are trying to work hard and play hard.

    Tim "The New Rich" Ferris' story is one that I would recommend anyone to read. Phil Town, the Number 1 Bestselling Author of The New York Times says "Stunning and amazing. From mini-retirements to outsourcing your life, it's all here. Whether you're a wage slave or a fortune 500 CEO, this book will change your life".

    I am really looking forward to hearing what book has inspired you, contributed to your wealth and success, or has changed the way you work.

    P.S

    I have just posted the most recent poll results over on the YE Blog, and there is an Exclusive Bonus Modeling Masters on Steve Jobs, who is the winner of the last poll “If you could meet one famous entrepreneur, dead or alive, who would it be and why?” - There is no reason not to follow your heart - Steve Jobs (Entrepreneur Poll Winner)

    Fiction or not. Liked or disliked...

    Rich dad poor dad opened my eyes when I read it as a young teen. The copy of the book that I bought years ago and still have is one of my most valuable possessions.

    Other books might be better in terms of educating... but it's RK's book that started it all.

    My favourite book is Machiavelli on modern leadership by Michael A. Ledeen. It tells why you should act decisively, has many examples from the history. Business can be a real struggle or a source of satisfaction - by following Machiavelli's rules you are more eager to achieve success.

    I agree with Chris Brooks. Think and Grow Rich is a splendid book!

    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?
