I've just finished The E-Myth Revisited and was very impressed and it did definitely help me. Will check some of the others out.

Good list. I have read most of them, and highly recommend some of the books other commenter's made. Such as, Trust Agents, Four steps to Epiphany, Etc.

I never read #2 on your list, but I did read Seth Godin's free version of the Bootstrapper's Bible: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2004/11.... Great alternative if you need to save a couple bucks this holiday season.

Thanks for the list!

Trust Agents by Chris Brogan in respect of the importance of dialogues – not just in social media spheres, but generally…and have to just add that The Cluetrain Manifesto is an absolute classic..10 years on and still loving it..

"CEO Logic" by C. Ray Johnson (maybe a little dated, but very, very clearly lays out the (learnable and actionable) skills a CEO should have)

"The Leader as a Mensch: Become the Kind of Person Others Want to Follow" by Bruna Martinuzzi

I second the call for Dale Carnegie!

"From Idea to Launch at Internet Speed" by Catherine Kitcho

Thank you for directing me to "Bottoms-Up Marketing" by Al Ries and Jack Trout - I found "Differentiate or Die" very useful too!

David, great list. I'd suggest adding “Raising Venture Capital for the Serious Entrepreneur” by VC Dermot Berkery. He gives advice to company founders on how to start a business that will also be fundable by VCs. Very practical advice from a very nice guy (who just happens to be a successful VC.) I'm sure you can find it on Amazon.

I am suggesting:
Free by Chris Anderson
Tribes by Seth Godin
Outliers (Afvigerne) by Malcolm Gladwell
Orbiting the Giant Hairball by Gordon MacKenzie (So amazing…)
