Staying updated and up-to-date can be essential for folks so here are the NY Times Top 5 Bestsellers in Business books as of March 31, 2021 (interestingly I am not sure all of these are what one might consider business books but a mixture of self-help, social commentary, and biography with some solid if not explicit business advice, but enough editorializing):

3: How To Avoid A Climate Disaster by Bill Gates
In this urgent, singularly authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical--and accessible--plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid an irreversible climate catastrophe.
As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but by following the guidelines he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.
4: Nomadland by Jessica Bruder
The inspiration for Chloé Zhao's 2020 Golden Lion and Oscar award-winning film starring Frances McDormand.
From the beet fields of North Dakota to the campgrounds of California to Amazon’s CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older adults.
Nomadland tells a revelatory tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy—one which foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, it celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive, but have not given up hope.
5: Believe It by Jamie Kern Lima
Jamie Kern Lima, founder of IT Cosmetics, shares the wild but true story of how a once struggling waitress turned her against-the-grain idea into an international bestselling sensation, , eventually selling the company for over a billion dollars and becoming the first female CEO of a brand in L’Oréal’s 100+ year history.
