Hey Jamie

I've read a Think & Grow Rich and also a couple of Robbin's books.
I agree that Think & Grow Rich should have made the list.

This is an interesting list for sure. It should be interesting to explore some books I normally never would have picked up.

In the same boat, going for at least one book per month this year. Not too overboard, but so far I've read 4 (including the updated 4HWW) and it's only February. Finished reading Napoleon Hill's “Think and Grow Rich” last week. Don't see it on the list, but it's a must read from an inspirational/leadership/success perspective (IMHO). Originally written in the 1930's, but the latest edition is littered with fantastic editor's notes to bring it into the 21st century. Currently reading some Anthony Robins – “Ultimate Power”. gold.
Will definitely take a look at this list to pick out a few more.

Thanks (and agreed 100% Linchpin)

This book was released last year and other books have come out since. This is also just the take on two authors who love business books.

I' sure I'll disagree with many of the selections as I make my way through all 100.

Thanks for offering up the hard copy of 5 dysfunctions...

Noah what a great undertaking. I just finished The Five Dysfunctions of a Team last week and you can have my hard copy.

I didn't see Linchpin on the list but it should also be on the lsit of must reads.

Awesome.

Whatever books I actually have to buy in hard copy and can't get on the kindle I'm willing to give away and share with others who want to take part.

The best advice I received from a former manager was to read. She learned a ton of books as she built her career and even had a “business library” when she started her own company (which was B2B book sales, actually).

I'm in.

Thanks for the clarification and the link.

This quest will follow my rules I've applied to other books. I will read at least 100-200 pages and if the book totally sucks I will practice the “Art of non-finishing.”

Lots – basically, there've been some accusations that he just pulled a lot of stuff out of his ass for the book. More importantly, the book is OLD, and it focuses on areas/strategies/etc that are either simply outdated & useless, or counterproductive and harmful.
