I've listened to the BP podcast for a long time now. The other day I got curious as to what the top recommended books are from the show up to this point, and decided to figure it out. I started doing it myself, but after about 30 minutes and not much progress, and realizing that The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss was showing up often, I took a page out his book and outsourced this project. So, $22 and 48 hours later, I have a list.

Keep in mind that BP promotes their books pretty regularly on the podcast (as they should) so their books are mentioned often (not to say you shouldn't read them, because you should!).

These are listed in order from most mentioned, but there are hundreds of books that were mentioned so I've only included books with 5 or more mentions...
