I really like the concept of the Personal MBA that Josh Kaufman offers in the form of a nice downloadable PDF. It’s short, succinct and though it’s easily interpreted as just a booklist, I think it offers valuable advice. Before stumbling across this, I had read a number of the books he mentions and found them useful if not thought-provoking. It is also good to know a number of other books that have been sitting on my reading list are listed as well. Check it out here.
