The Amazon AMZN, -0.14% editorial team released its list of Best Books of the Year 2021 on Tuesday. The editors explained in a note on the “Best Books” page that they selected the works based on customer reviews and online chatter for books that were published this year, as well as which books were best sellers on Amazon’s online store.
Modern philosopher Ryan Holiday’s “Courage Is Calling: Fortune Favors the Brave” was named Amazon’s best business and leadership book of the year. The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today best seller breaks down the elements of fear and courage through the stories of leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It also scored blurbs from former U.S. Defense Secretary Gen. Jim Mattis and actor Matthew McConaughey — perhaps better known today as the face of Ford’s F, -0.35% Lincoln ads.
Many books on this list lean more heavily into leadership skills than business acumen, including “Change Your World: How Anyone, Anywhere Can Make A Difference” from global leadership and development figures John C. Maxwell and Rob Hoskins. And there’s “Run to Win: Lessons in Leadership for Women Changing the World” by Emily’s List president Stephanie Schriock, which includes a forward from Vice President Kamala Harris. These books round out the top three.
