Remember - Leaders are Readers!
“You wasted $150,000 on an education you could a got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library.”— Will Hunting (played by Matt Damon), Good Will Hunting
“Whatever be the qualifications of your tutors, your improvement must chiefly depend on yourselves. They cannot think or labor for you, they can only put you in the best way of thinking and laboring for yourselves. If therefore you get knowledge you must acquire it by your own industry. You must form all conclusions and all maxims for yourselves, from premises and data collected and considered by yourself. And it is the great object of [our educational institutions] to remove every bias the mind may be under, and to give the greatest scope for true freedom of thinking.”— Joseph Priestly, Dedication of New College, London, 1794.
What is a Business Novel?
It is a book-length fictional work where the characters and plot incorporate specific business related concepts and business experiences. The major intent of the author is to teach important business fundamentals while surrogating the readers business experience with a fictional one. The advantage is that real learning occurs, because books combine theory with emotion, therefore the student gains both theoretic knowledge and fictional experience they can substitute for their own. In our opinion, it is a superior form of learning. Below we highly recommend our favorite selections. click here to go to the store
