After having almost finished my MBA in a top-3 Business School in EU, I must acknowledge it is the best book I have ever read during my whole MBA. After the reading, all the finance concepts are super well-related in my head!! All the concepts are in-depth explained and no matter which is your background, you will enjoy the reading. For sure, I will keep it as a source book in my future career. I would say that it is an essential book every executive should read.
