There should be a website called "badreads" for books like these.

[Dhruva Narware]

A really good book for those who are facing troubles at their workplace, after attaining a degree from college. It will surely help you with the basics of behavior and working approach, and will help you tackle some of the most common work-place issues. Have fun reading!
