I haven't read Amoruso's book but business books are generally mediocre because they usually are written with the same logical fallacies. Most of them are either a businessperson extrapolating their unique circumstance to the whole world, or they are a study of a few companies that have succeeded without searching for companies that have failed using the same practices. Every now and again there is a good "philosophical" sort of book that challenges the zeitgeist. Those are the ones I usually like to read.

Any particular "philosophical" business book recommendations?

I highly highly recommend both of Phil Rozenzweig's books, The Halo Effect and Left Brain, Right Stuff.

The Halo Effect in particular is a clinical deconstruction of the fallacies the business book genera. It tears Good to Great and company apart.

Up the Organization, by Robert Townsend, for example.
