The Best and Worst Business Books

Steer clear of silly fads and bad advice. Read the books that provide the useful insights you need to advance your professional development.

Your time is limited — but the number of business books isn’t — and many of the bestsellers aren’t even worth their weight in your carry-on. We’ve sorted through the fads, pop theories, and half-baked research to find the ones that will actually give you information you can — and should — put to use. Start by clearing your bookshelf of our list of 10 overrated books, replacing them with our suggestions of what to read instead, then check out our 10 most underrated books for time-tested advice and solid insights into the issues you face every day.
