This Is Bill Gates’ Favourite Business Book

When someone is really, really, really good at something you often wonder what makes them that successful? Bill Gates has given us a little nibble into his business world. Check it out...

Bill Gates has revealed his favourite business book to the world.

The LinkedIn influencer says that he sought advice from Warren Buffet, way back in 1991, on which book he recommended on business.

He didn’t miss a beat: “It’s ‘Business Adventures,’ by John Brooks,” he said. “I’ll send you my copy.”

I was intrigued: I had never heard of “Business Adventures” or John Brooks.

Bill goes on to say that more than two decades after Warren sent him his copy, and four decades after it was published, “Business Adventures”, remains his favourite business book.

One of the richest men in the world, and someone who pioneered the world of business as we know it, has let us in on his little secret…I can’t wait to give this a read!

If you’d like to read the book Bill is talking about, you can at Kalahari.
