‘Business Adventures’ written by John Brooks is a highly recommended book by Bill Gates. “The best business book I’ve ever read,” he said. The book tells the story of an American corporate and financial life. John Brooks’ books are easy to understand and entertaining simultaneously as he describes everything by telling stories of characters and not give simplistic explanations about success.
