Business professionals have too many books to read. Google estimated in 2010 (before the self-publishing boom) that 129,864,880 titles are in existence. Amazon currently carries over 2,000,000 titles in its business section alone.
As important as it is to gather ideas from a variety of sources, reading a wide swath of these books is not the point, says Actionable Books founder Chris Taylor.
