In the ever-evolving landscape of business, success often demands a unique blend of skills, knowledge, and strategic thinking. Accomplished business leaders have shared their book recommendations, offering valuable insights that have helped shape their careers.

According to a report by CNBC, notable life coach Lucía García-Giurgiu highlighted the affordability and power of reading as a tool for personal growth, emphasizing that books offer valuable knowledge that can be applied in one’s life. Business magnates like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have similarly recognized the significance of reading as a means to ignite creativity and broaden one’s understanding of the world.

“The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance” by W. Timothy Gallwey has received acclaim from Gates, influencing how he approached his work throughout his career at Microsoft. Buffett recommended “The Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEOs and Their Radically Rational Blueprint for Success” by William N. Thorndike, which dissects the careers of eight CEOs who adopted unconventional management approaches.

Adam Grant previously suggested “Conflicted: How Productive Disagreements Lead to Better Outcomes” by Ian Leslie, which serves as a masterclass in handling disagreements constructively and reframing contentious arguments into opportunities for enhanced creativity and communication.

Renowned author and speaker Brené Brown endorsed “The Power of Starting Something Stupid” by Richie Norton, which advocates embracing seemingly “stupid” ideas to overcome self-doubt, trust one’s instincts, and take calculated career risks. “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie, a classic first published in 1936, was previously recommended for its powerful guidance on building people skills and nurturing strong work relationships.
