Each month I’ll post the top-selling management books in Australia, based on sales data kindly provided by Dymocks Australia. The Top 5 below come from the month of April and, surprise!, seem to be fairly heavily centred around the topic of the current economic downturn (or recession or depression, depending on when and where you’re reading this).
The glaring exception is Johnson’s Who Moved My Cheese?, which, by the way, has just turned 10 years old.
