I read a lot of business books. I don’t know why, because they mostly suck. But folks keep asking me what books they should read. I like a good story and hope to learn something - business is the new intrigue. I try to do this in my own books like my latest, The End of Medicine.
It’s the investor in me. I having this hankering/desire/thirst to see into the future. If I can see patterns, I have a fighting chance of recognizing them again before others. Here are five that I found useful:
Everything Bad is Good for You by Steven Johnson
An Army of Davids by Glenn Reynolds
The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki
The Hypomanic Edge by John Gartner
Mr. China by Tim Clissold
