Books

I thought it would be helpful to create a page with useful and/or interesting books, especially books related to investments, business, management, and entrepreneurship etc. I’ll add to it as I read more. I have read most of these books (either the current edition or a prior edition) and found these useful or thought provoking enough to recommend it to fellow investor. In the spirit of full disclosure, please note that some of the links below are affiliate links to books that will earn me a commission. If that bothers you, please feel free to just search for the book names on Amazon.com or any other bookstore !
