"Perhaps you are wondering what on earth Oh, The Places You’ll Go is doing in a list of must-read business books. But if you haven’t cracked open your copy, take this opportunity to pull it from the bottom shelf of your bookcase…. It’s self-help at its finest, self-help in the same way that Thoreau and Emerson championed self-improvement."

Thousands of business books are published every year, far too many for any reader to sift through single-handedly. Here are the best of the best.

Why a book? Here's what Todd said.

After years of reading, evaluating, and selling business books, Jack Covert and Todd Sattersten are the most respected experts on the category. Now they have chosen the 100 best business titles of all time – the ones that deliver the biggest payoff for today's busy readers.

The 100 Best puts each book in context, so that readers can quickly find solutions to the problems they face, such as how best to spend The First 90 Days in a new job or how to take their company from Good to Great. Many of the choices are surprising – you’ll find reviews of Moneyball and Orbiting the Giant Hairball, but not Jack Welch’s memoir.

At the end of each review, Jack and Todd direct readers to other books both inside and outside The 100 Best. And sprinkled throughout are sidebars taking the reader beyond business books, suggesting movies, novels, and even children's books that offer equally relevant insights.

This book will appeal to anyone, from entry-level to CEO, who wants to cut through the clutter and discover the brilliant books that are truly worth their investment of time and money.

Jack Covert is the founder and president of 800-CEO-READ, a specialty business book retailer that began as a subsidiary of the Milwaukee-based Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops. Todd Sattersten is the company’s vice president. Both read countless business books every year and review many of them on their website and blog.
