Josh Kaufman: The personal MBA (2010, Portfolio Penguin) 4 stars

A thematic encyclopaedia of concepts that are relevant to succeeding in business.

Review of 'The personal MBA' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

An overview of the current state of business wisdom and some business adjacent fluff, that Is fully bought into the American capitalist ideology. This makes it a useful starting point for what passes for common sense and pointers to further topics worth reading into, but your critical thinking skills need to be engaged to sift the wheat from the chaff. Chunks of the book seem to be trendy personal productivity "hacks" which feel out of place for the mission of the book. Much will feel vaguely familiar but having it all next to each other is useful to see these concepts in context.
