1) How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie (if you haven’t read it, you’re an idiot! A business classic for damn good reason.)

2) Standing Next to History: An Agent’s Life Inside the Secret Service by Joseph Petro and Jeffrey Robinson (such an interesting read for political junkies!)

3) Losing My Virginity: How I’ve Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way by Richard Branson (as awesome as an autobiography will ever get… some of the top business leaders in the world love this book.)

4) The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O’Neill by Ron Suskind (even though a Bush-bashing book, it is a very rare and interesting take on things from someone who was part of the president’s super-small inner circle and then turned.)

5) Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time by Keith Ferrazzi and Tahl Raz (sounds like a cheesy self-help book, but it’s not! Some great insight into how powerful building your network the right way can be.) 

Reading is legendary, so if anyone has any suggestions on good reads, do tell…
