Many business books are written in story format and are authored by experienced businessmen and women who want to share their successes and mistakes in running a business. They are more interesting and easier to read, given the fact that most entrepreneurs find themselves with no time to digest a whole book, or are disinclined to read in the first place.

These books list down the challenges that many businessmen and women face in today’s economic climate, and how to leverage a business out of a tough spot when need be. They also show the way to transform a commercial venture from a good one to something great.

Leadership and teamwork are some of the buzzwords of today’s business books, particularly with business owners who manage their own business. There are books  contain many examples and situations that most entrepreneurs find themselves in, and show them how to work their business out of a corner, as needed.

Some business books borrow heavily from other works of fiction, such as the Code of the Samurai, and relate this with how business is run today. Instead of laying down theories and complicated words, these books focus on motivation, strong leadership and acquiring excellent management skills. A book I started with is investment psychology.
