This has come up a couple times before. However, specifically for entrepreneurs, the books to read are:

  1) How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
  2) Musashi's The Book of Five Rings
  3) Gonzo Marketing by Christopher Locke
  4) Getting Things Done by David Allen
  5) What Management Is by Joan Magretta
There are other books, but less relevant in a business context.


It's been a while since I've flogged this:

I bought a lot of those books because they seemed good or came with recommendations.


Smart Startups - David Silver

A great read for web entrepreneurs.


The Four Steps to the Epiphany - Steven Gary Blank
