Another List

Rebecca pointed us all to Amazon's Best Books of 2007 last month, and in light of all the other lists coming out lately, I thought it'd be a good idea to revisit that list and highlight the business titles on it. There were three business categories--Business, Business Narratives, and Finance & Investing. So without further ado, the choice of Amazon's editors were... Business: *1-The Future of Management by Gary Hamel with Bill Breen *2-Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Chip & Dan Heath *3-The Leadership Challenge (4th Edition) by James M. Kouzes *4-The Art of Project Management by Scott Berkun *5-Off-ramps and On-ramps: Keeping Talented Women on the Road to Success by Sylvia Ann Hewlett *6-We Are Smarter Than Me: How to Unleash the Power of Crowds in Your Business by Barry Libert & John Spector *7-The Three Signs of a Miserable Job: A Fable for Managers (And Their Employees) by Patrick M.

Wattles Wikinomics also made the list in the Computers & Internet category, as did David Weinberger's excellent book, Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder. The Age of Turbulence and The Shock Doctrine made the list in multiple categories, both making the Current Events list and The Age of Turbulence making the Memoirs list as well. The Black Swan also got the nod in Nonfiction. And don't forget to check back Monday to see who made the shortlist for our first annual 800-CEO-READ Business Book Awards.
