Happy Thursday everyone!
I am once again behind on recapping the books I’ve read for the year… This picture was taken on April 15 so we aren’t too far from the first quarter. I have more time during the winter months, it seems, coupled with that freshness of the new year that prompts a hunger for learning and growth.
If you are interested in my input on any of these, please let me know! Here are my top 5:
- The Little BIG things, Tom Peters — It is classic Tom Peters… All things excellence in our lives and a focus on people! Right up my ally!
- The Daniel Dilemma, Chris Hodges — A great book on how to stand firm and love well in a culture of compromise.
- The Power of Moments, Chip Health and Dan Heath — This book is all about thinking and capturing “moments.” It has some great ideas on how we can intentionally construct elevated moments.
- WHEN, Daniel H. Pink — Everyone always wishes they knew God’s plan (when to get married, when to change jobs, etc.). This book goes into the science of how we can do this and optimize our success.
- Principles, Ray Dalio — This is a must read for all leaders, whether you’re just starting out or at the top of your career. Using his basis of economics and leading one of the best firms ever on Wall Street, Dalio uses his unique approach to tell a story of excellence with details we can all grab and implement.
So many other good ones, and I would love to share about any of them if you are interested so just ask. If you have one for me, let me know! Inthe summer, I try to read at least one novel — something “Nantucket-ish.” Would love your ideas!
