2023 is a year for the (business) books

You won’t meet a successful leader who isn’t in constant pursuit of knowledge and personal development. The best leaders consistently carve out time in their busy calendars to read—and you should, too, if you have ambitions. But with so many books out there, how can you decide what to pick up next? McKinsey has you covered. Don’t miss our monthly ranking of the best-selling business books in the United States, prepared exclusively for McKinsey Publishing by Circana, across eight categories, several of which are available exclusively on our website; browse the latest rankings—in business, decision making, organizational behavior, workplace culture, and more—to find your next favorite read. If you’re pressed for time, glean highlights from any of our 150-plus interviews with authors of business books (you can check out some of our most popular Author Talks interviews of 2023 below).
