100 Leadership and Success Books to Read in a Lifetime

Amazon recently released their annual list of “100 Leadership and Success Books to Read in a Lifetime.” I’ve read 50 of these books. It’s hard to choose a favorite, but The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz is one of my current favorites. I’ve read the book several times, and will be reading it several more times. It is so, so relevant to what I’m going through with my own business right now.

How many have you read? Which is your favorite? Please post in the comments below.
