The BIBLE. No other book teaches proper attitude towards others as well as the Bible Julio Vasiu . If we treated each other as our brothers and loved one another as we love our selves people would flock to us to do business with us.

I just purchased Who Moved My Cheese....it was recommended by George Souto ... I expect it will be fabulous...

as far as the best business practice, The Godfather is my favorite.... that book should be a required read at Harvard Business School...

I loved "The Go-Giver." I've given a copy to my entire staff and I send them to my clients. It's a great book about bringing value to the job. Simple, easy to read and very client focused.

I don't read too many of them any more, grew up with my folks listening to ALL of them on tape in the car.  My favorite non-traditional one is Sun Tzu's "The Art of War"  That can be adopted for so many things in life.

Those who read sales or motivational books are probably familiar with Napoleon Hill, famous for Think and Grow Rich.  However often overlooked is another classic by him because of the perceived too-weird title, Interview with the D____.  (animated Cliff Notes version)

Written in 1938 you'll recognize his principles here that have been used by motivational gurus, and as book titles by religious leaders, to this day.
