Strategy
Look ahead, consider the path, and drive some change. These books will help you put a plan into action.
A bit controversial in some circles, but this book is on basically every “suggested reading” list from thinkers I respect. Sounds like a dense, yet rewarding, read. Will you give it a try too?
The 48 Laws of Power - Robert Greene
Munger was the long-time partner of Warren Buffet, as you may know. He passed recently and I've wanted to read his wisdom. Hearing him in a few speeches from random YouTube videos, this man was incredibly intelligent.
Poor Charlie's Almanack - Charles T. Munger
More quintessential reading for folks in the business leadership space, but my suspicion is that this book has something to say for most of us. Interested to give it a try.
Influence - Robert Cialdini
More Gladwell. I plan to read every one of his books before I die, including this one, which is all about thinking about people you don't know. Seems like a worthwhile exercise for each of us.
Talking to Strangers - Malcolm Gladwell
Pink is an author that I keep seeing as highly recommended and this particular book has been on my list for a while. The joy of learning more about what makes us tick. I know it will be a fascinating read.
When - Daniel H. Pink
Leadership
Inspire, show the way, and get the results. These books will help you be the leader everyone will follow.
Perhaps you saw this man's commencement address to the University of Texas in 2014. It was a viral YouTube video for a while and still pops back up from time to time. Very motivational content from him.
The Wisdom of the Bullfrog - Admiral William H. McRaven
Sinek is another one of those authors where I want to read each of this writings. He has a unique voice and this book is very timely for anyone in any type of leadership position. Find out what leading has to do with eating.
Leaders Eat Last - Simon Sinek
A bit of a different genre when considering the larger list, but Lincoln is obviously an important figure and I keep hearing about this book. His leadership methods were effective to say the least.
Team of Rivals - Doris Kearns Goodwin
This is the first book in the Stoic Virtues series from Holiday. It (obviously) tackles the topic of courage, which is one of the four (you guessed it) virtues of Stoicism. Holiday's writing is top-notch and I have high expectations for this book.
Courage Is Calling - Ryan Holiday
The title says a lot. I'm intrigued by this one and have a feeling it will do a lot to challenge your ego. Further, it's the only book on this list pushed by an entity, which is an interesting development.
Leadership and Self-Deception - Arbinger Institute
More goodness from Kearns Goodwin. Follows how well-known Presidents who made great efforts to lead effectively in trying circumstances. Sounds like the ultimate master class.
Leadership - Doris Kearns Goodwin
Wealth
Learn from those who have done it, and then do it for yourself. These books will help you accumulate wealth.
Heard about this book on a podcast and immediately wrote down the title. Learning from the world's best investors? Yes, please! The markets are confusing and scary for many of us.
Richer, Wiser, Happier - William Green
Housel's latest book. I heard him talking about it and many of its concepts on a podcast and knew I wanted to read it. Yes, it does seem worthwhile to learn about how we spend money, not just earn it. Plus, I read Psychology of Money and loved it.
The Art of Spending Money - Morgan Housel
This book is nothing new in terms in the wealth reading space. Many people have read and recommended this book. Someday soon, I will read it too! I'm sure it's worth the time.
Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert T. Kiyosaki
Noticed this book because of the cover, read the summary, and promptly added it to my list. Love the concept of seeing the power of the small and applying it to have large impacts. Works in many areas of life, including money.
The Power of Moments - Chip Heath, Dan Heath
