Recommended book

Hi there! I would like to ask for a book that will help prepare the interviews. I mean, for reading in my free time. I know a lot of case books, however, I would like a nice book that will help somehow prepare the personal or case interview. Something nice to read, related to business concepts, or personal development. 

I would like to add that I have a background in engineering so that I have a lot to learn in the business world. 

Thank you for your time. 

Helena.

Hi Helena,

I'll let the others recommend books, but I personally prefer articles. I think they're most interesting and help you learn more :)

I recommend the following:

  1. https://www.spencertom.com/category/management-consulting/
  2. https://www.economist.com/
  3. https://www.bcg.com/featured-insights/thought-leadership-ideas

Enjoy!
