This list is so predictable.

Machievelli is better understood in the context of the history of political philosophy. Using him as some "self help" entrepreneurship guru won't get most people very far. But these are people who think Ayn Rand is brilliant so as cwan mentioned you can't expect much from them.

Well, now we know that financiers think we should read Rand. Any operators got different lists?

Government ain't actually known for its dynamism so this shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

I think "It's Not How Good You Are, Its How Good You Want to Be" (http://www.amazon.com/Its-Not-How-Good-Want/dp/0714843377) is a good self-improvement book for lots of different people, entrepreneurs included.

I agree with mburney. Rand? Machiavelli? Moto Maintenance? How about Art of the Start? What about The Big Moo? The are countless others that have emerged in recent history. Hasn't the landscape changed so significantly. Has human nature?
