Award Winning Books About Money
If you’re looking for some last minute gifts ideas, a reader recently tipped me off to the results of this year’s Axiom Book Awards. If you’re not familiar with them, the Axiom Awards are “designed to bring increased recognition to the year’s very best business books and their creators.” There are actually 25 different categories, though I’m only listing the winners for five of them (some are pretty esoteric).
Note that I haven’t actually read any of these, so I can’t vouch for them. However, there are some interesting titles here that I will likely check out. Oh, and I’ve also listed Amazon’s current star rating alongside each title.
Personal finance
- The Lies About Money (3.1 stars)
- Life is Short, Art is Long (3.5 stars)
- The Quiet Millionaire (4.8 stars)
Economics
- The Emerging Markets Century (4 stars)
- Wikinomics (3.9 stars)
- The Economics of Happiness (3.7 stars)
Success and motivation
- The Dip (3.8 stars)
- The Age of Speed (3.8 stars)
- Lasting Contribution (4.6 stars)
- Women & Money (4.6 stars)
Communication skills and networking
- Perform at Your Best (5 stars)
- Talk to Me (5 stars)
- Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace (4.8 stars)
If these titles aren’t enough to satisfy your inner bibliophile, then be sure to check out these earlier posts:

I haven’t read any of these books and I read a lot of books about finance. I may need to check some of these books out especially The Quiet Millionaire and The Lies about Money.
