I attended a meeting at NextSpace this morning where the guest speaker was Patrick G. Riley, author of The One-Page Proposal.  This is my kind of business book!  I’m going to write my first 1-pager this week.  This is not our NextSpace, IP Society, Patrick Reilly.

I’ve been meaning to mention my favorite business books.  Here’s a start… These are business books that I continue to recommend to colleagues (and one or two are sitting on my bed side table waiting to be read):

1. Don’t Make Me Think, A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability (Steve Krug)  Perhaps not a business book per se, but it is THE book I recommend more than any other.

2. The No Asshole Rule, Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t (Robert I. Sutton, Phd)

3. The One-Page Proposal, How to Get Your Business Pitch Onto One Persuasive Page (Patrick G. Riley)

4. Rapid Problem Solving with Post-it Notes (David Straker)

5. Peak, How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow (Chip Conley)

6. A Whole New Mind, Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future  (Daniel H. Pink)

7. Free Agent Nation, How America’s New Independent Workers Are Transforming the Way We Live (Daniel H. Pink)
