I still remember the toughest interview question I’ve ever been asked. In 2004, my future consulting colleague asked: “What’s your favorite book?”
While I still can’t get my head around picking a favorite book, I love giving and receiving book recommendations. Below are some favorite books I return to and recommend often. Feel free to send a recommendation in return!
