Skip the MBA, follow Elon Musk's idea and read these 10 books instead.

A thread..

1. "Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking" by M. Neil Browne.

This book “helps bridge the gap between simply memorizing or blindly accepting information, and the greater challenge of critical analysis and synthesis,” according to Amazon.
2. "Organizational Culture and Leadership" by Edgar H. Schein.

A classic textbook on organizational culture and leadership.
3. "Essentials of Organizational Behavior" by Stephen P. Robbins.

This textbook is now in its 14th edition, so it must be pretty useful.
4. "The Management of Innovation" by G. M. Stalker and Tom Burns.

Originally published in 1961, this is “one of the most influential books about business organizations ever,” Amazon claims.
5. "Business Finance: Theory and Practice" by Eddie McLaney.

Save yourself even more by checking the older editions of this one — the price drops from $75 to $3.
6. "A Theory of Human Motivation" by A. H. Maslow.

Heard of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? This is where the idea comes from.
7. "Critical Analysis of Organizations: Theory, Practice, Revitalization" by Catherine Casey.

This doesn’t look like a light read at all but it tackles an interesting theme: new, critical takes on the subject of organizations and how people behave within them
8. "Defining Moments: When Managers Must Choose Between Right and Right" by Joseph Badaracco.

A discussion of navigating those moments when your business and values are in conflict.
9. "Business Intelligence and Analytics: Systems for Decision Support" by Efraim Turban.

“The only comprehensive, up-to-date guide to today’s revolutionary management support system technologies,” says Amazon
10. "Corporate Finance" by Jeffrey F. Jaffe, Stephen A. Ross and Randolph Westerfield.

Another classic textbook, now in its 11th edition.

अस्य श्री गायत्री ध्यान श्लोक:
(gAyatri dhyAna shlOka)
• This shloka to meditate personified form of वेदमाता गायत्री was given by Bhagwaan Brahma to Sage yAgnavalkya (याज्ञवल्क्य).

• 14th shloka of गायत्री कवचम् which is taken from वशिष्ठ संहिता, goes as follows..


• मुक्ता-विद्रुम-हेम-नील धवलच्छायैर्मुखस्त्रीक्षणै:।
muktA vidruma hEma nIla dhavalachhAyaiH mukhaistrlkShaNaiH.

• युक्तामिन्दुकला-निबद्धमुकुटां तत्वार्थवर्णात्मिकाम्॥
yuktAmindukalA nibaddha makutAm tatvArtha varNAtmikam.

• गायत्रीं वरदाभयाङ्कुश कशां शुभ्रं कपालं गदाम्।
gAyatrIm vardAbhayANkusha kashAm shubhram kapAlam gadAm.

• शंखं चक्रमथारविन्दयुगलं हस्तैर्वहन्ती भजै॥
shankham chakramathArvinda yugalam hastairvahantIm bhajE.

This shloka describes the form of वेदमाता गायत्री.

• It says, "She has five faces which shine with the colours of a Pearl 'मुक्ता', Coral 'विद्रुम', Gold 'हेम्', Sapphire 'नील्', & a Diamond 'धवलम्'.

• These five faces are symbolic of the five primordial elements called पञ्चमहाभूत:' which makes up the entire existence.

• These are the elements of SPACE, FIRE, WIND, EARTH & WATER.

• All these five faces shine with three eyes 'त्रिक्षणै:'.
I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x


The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x

Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x

The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x

It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
