Richard Branson Book Recommendations (All-Time)
Book 1 - Trailblazer by Marc Benioff
Richard Branson: “Trailblazer is an urgent and compelling book for anyone in business who yearns to fulfil a higher mission in the world. Marc’s powerful and poignant stories of leadership remind each of us what we can achieve when we abandon 'business as usual' and make our values the driving force of our work.”
Book 2 - Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg
Richard Branson: “If you loved Sheryl Sandberg’s incredible TEDTalk on why we have too few women leaders, or simply believe as I do that we need equality in the boardroom, then this book is for you. As Facebook’s COO, Sheryl Sandberg has firsthand experience of why having more women in leadership roles is good for business as well as society. Lean In is essential reading for anyone interested in righting the injustice of this inequality.”
Book 3 - New Power by Jeremy Heimans
Richard Branson: “A useful lens to use when thinking about how business has changed, how to spread ideas or start a movement, or create change. This book challenges all of us to think about the values we hold and how we can all be a part of building a more open, equitable, and participatory world.”
Book 4 - The Watchman's Rattle by Rebecca Costa
Richard Branson: “One of those rare books that one picks up and then knows within the first few pages is extremely important…extremely brave, spirited and well informed. ”
Book 5 - Remote: Office Not Required by Jason Fried
Richard Branson: “ In my top 65 books to read in a lifetime.”
