The Top 10 Business Books You Should Read this Summer

Reading books, whether on your mobile device or in traditional hard copy format, is a great way to expand your horizons. All great leaders have their favorite books and gladly share with others the ones they've found most inspirational, or that contributed otherwise to their professional or personal development. We have our favorites, too.

If you're going on vacation and have some time to relax, consider that books are a great way to help you unwind and recharge at the same time by filling you with ideas you can put into practice when you return to work.

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." - Benjamin Franklin

If you're staying home this summer, enjoying good books on your patio with a refreshing drink in the evening, or on weekends, is the perfect opportunity to "catch up" or "branch out."

A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. —Abraham Lincoln
