Everywhere you look, the bookshelves are getting crowded with modern management books. Some are good, some are just full of platitudinous crap and just a waste of trees. Pretentious and badly written, and about as exciting as the view inside a coffin.

That's why I was taken by this take on today's 6 worst business books.

Having read three of them, I agree with Holstein's verdict 100 per cent. The question is why just 6? Any others to add?
