Product Description
The Personal MBA redefines what it means to learn business. Instead of classrooms and tuition debt, Josh Kaufman distills the most valuable lessons of a top MBA program into one clear, practical guide.

Kaufman introduces powerful mental models that simplify complexity and reveal how successful companies—and the people behind them—actually work.
