Why 50? I will say right away that there are definitely more than 50 such books. But the article format will not allow me to fit in the one and a half thousand books that I personally have read during my considerable entrepreneurial experience.

What else to read? My colleagues and I made short reviews of the best books from this list. Others were grouped by lists and categories. We post all these materials in a separate section of our blog Books for Managers . Be sure to check it out, you will find a lot of interesting things.

In the meantime, let's return purchase shareholder database to the list of those 50 books that simply must be read and that will definitely change your worldview, attitude to life, business and the reality around you.

Life and management principles of Ray Dalio, one of the most influential people on the planet, and his personal story about the hedge fund Bridgewater. After reading it, your life will never be the same.
