The Best Business Books of the 2010s
The highest rated AND the most read
In a previous story, I looked at the top business books of 2019. In this story, I widen the focus to the entire 2010s.
Regular readers will know that I like to triangulate data from multiple sources to zero in on the ones that are most likely to be a good investment of my time. In this story, I combine reader ratings with readership data. Both data come from Goodreads. I scraped data for the top 500 business books on Goodreads. Of these, around 200 were from the 2010s and were the population for this story.
Sales data (for which I have relied on the New York Times best seller lists) tells only how many books have been bought. If my own experience is indicative, some proportion of those will end up on shelves unread. Then there are the gifts that don’t quite hit the mark and also remain unread.
