My Reading List
Cassia Scheffer
Published on November 23, 2024
I’ve collected most of the following books from MBA reading lists I’ve found on the internet. I’ve linked to Perlego for books you can find there. Most of the other ones I bought in hard copy.
Books on this list are by no means an endorsement. To be honest, I leafed through one of the books here and thought “Yikes, I’m glad he’s not around anymore” based on some extremely sexist comments.
I plan on reading through this list and stopping a book as soon as I feel I have learned what I can from it. Sometimes that means I read every page. Other times I skim, make a few notes and move on.
Here is my list in no particular order.
