Josh Kaufman has put together an excellent and very hefty reading list which forms the core of his PMBA course. It is downloadable as a free PDF. The recommended readings are wide, deep, holistic, and very good. You could purchase all of these easily available books and if you combine study of them with actually trying stuff in the real world scenario by starting your own business, you’ll be far ahead in the business game than MBA graduates from reputed universities who generally deal with case studies.

This self education will help a lot to people who are running small businesses or intend to start business. I feel this method  works best if we are willing to put in the hours because all the learning is by doing and that is proven to be far effective than conventional education.
