The Book that You Refer to the Most in Business and in Life!

Hey All - I was curious to hear about what book you always bring up the most when trying to coach someone or educate others on how the world works.
I always find myself referring to The 48 Powers of Law by Robert Greene. This book I find so digestible and I see the laws all around me every day in play (working leadership in an organization).
What book do you always find yourself bringing up when educating others on something (be it fiction or nonfiction)? For this part in my life, I find 48 Power of Law my favorite book for the past 10 years due to its timeless lessons and excellent historical examples with context.

The book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey is always a reference, as it contains valuable lessons in improving one’s personal life and little else. Its practical style and clear directions make it an indispensable book.

My favorite chapter in this one is Chapter 7 Sharpen the Saw! In areas that we are very strong in we must always try to sharpen the saw.

48 Powers of Law is worth re-reading or at least one law per day
My friend told me about the book in 2003
I like Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People
Toby Young wrote How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill is another good one

Yes - love them all - Would you say how to lose friends and alienate people is worth the read? I feel like consuming this content could create some of the behaviors...?

Toby Young is a political pundit/journalist. The title is sarcastic, the book is somewhat autobiographical, he moved from London to NYC to work for a magazine which was a miserable experience for him.
There was a movie with the same title based on the book but I haven't seen it, reviews are terrible

I don't recommend it unless you are familiar with Toby Young or interested in breaking into journalism or publishing.
The magazine was Vanity Fair, 1995 - 98

I have always read and used the book Atomic Habits, it is a book that goes beyond time management and productivity. I really recommend it.
