The late and amazing business consultant, Jim Rohn, used to say, “Successful people have big libraries. Poor people have big TVs.”

It’s all well and good to pick up information from the Internet, but you can’t beat the wisdom delivered by top business books. Plus you can highlight passages and write notes in the margins.

Books not only teach us, but they make us think.

Here are five books I recommend you read…all for different reasons. Get them. Read them. Highlight and write notes in the margins like crazy.

Books I talk about:

Footnotes
Kenneth Cole

Thinking Fast And Slow
Daniel Kahneman

Warfighting
The US Marine Corps Book of Strategy

How I Raised Myself From Failure To Success In Selling
Frank Bettger

Obvious Adams
Robert R. Updegraff
