I have read a lot of business/career books in my life, including a couple mentioned by you. Some are good, but most are craps. One book I read recently and really like is Corporate Confidential by Susan DePhillips.
The Prince is a classic book on modern political thought; not necessarily a business book. While a little archaic, it can give you pointers on how to become a leader (ok, even a ruthless leader) and how to gain and hold on to power. This was the book found under the bed of the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Machiavelli was the proponent of the the end justifies the means thinking. Some of his other nuggets of wisdom include be close to your friends, but keep your enemies closer. Certainly good for conflict resolution, preservation of company, and others.
All of the books you’ve listed are must-reads. Though I would think that Napoleon Hill’s books are more applicable even today. In fact, if you’re only going to read one, go for Hill’s book. It’s not about discourse on the importance of state, but more about your changing your mindset and redirecting it towards success. This is the book that helps you take charge of your financial life as it gives an excellent formula for attaining success. The examples in the book are old (afterall it was published in the 1930s), but they are relevant even today.
I would say buy Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow rich book.
