The Personal MBA: A World-class Business Education in a Single Volume by Josh Kaufman

3.0

This book serves as an overview of many business basics, including sales, marketing, finance, psychology, and systems. You can think of the book as a "survey course". For detailed treatment of any of the topics, you really need to read the books on the Personal MBA list.

Overall this book wasn't a waste of time, but I was already familiar with many of the topics from my reading about influencing and consulting; and Kaufman takes lots of ideas from Lean and Agile, so some of his writing was far less revolutionary to me than I imagine it would be to people in a different industry.
