9/10 Best for: Self-learners, freelancers, startup founders, and anyone afraid of business jargon.
Here is why this updated edition is worth your time—even if you’ve already read the original. The tagline of the book is simple: Master the Art of Business. Kaufman’s argument is radical for the academic world. He believes that the core curriculum of a $200,000, two-year MBA can be learned for the cost of a public library card (or a $15 book).
If you’ve ever felt the pang of imposter syndrome because you don’t have an MBA from Harvard or Stanford, Josh Kaufman’s The Personal MBA has likely been on your radar.
