Before readingWhy I picked it up

I went to business school for underground and ended up teaching myself how to code while there and much earlier on fell in love with the art of learning in general. I know that I was probably going to skip graduate school and her straight into the workforce. I still wanted to learn more about MBAs. I heard that Josh's book took the self- learner's approach to acquiring some of the knowledge behind an MBA, which the perfect route for me.

After readingPosted

I think this book should be required reading for any business school student. Or even if you want to be more familiar with business, in general, The Personal MBA gives a good overview without scaring you off with too much technical detail. It was a pleasant surprise that this book was more than business; it included psychology and aspects on how to manage and improve yourself. It's one of my most gifted books.

Three reasons to read it

  1. Get better at managing yourself, strategizing and analysis
  2. Learn the fundamentals and High-Level Concepts of Business
  3. More information if you're considering an MBA, with additional resources for further business learning
