My Management Book Reviews.

I love reading, and I also love taking notes on the books I read. Which is why I have decided to focus a lot of time to write the reviews of the books that I feel more relevant for my job, and of interest for my readers.

Through this page, you can find all the Management Book Reviews that I have written. I also manage a list of the Top 25 Management Books according to me, that is based on the reviews here published.
