I've been in Leadership positions for 12+ years.
And I still read 30+ books in 2022.
Here are the ones that will help you grow as a Leader:
1/ Deep Work
To be successful in today's economy, you need to constantly produce high-quality work.
This book will help you:
- set clear goals
- eliminate distractions
- create a focused work environment.
Deep work is an essential tool for achieving your goals.
2/ Tribes
Social media has made it easier than ever to connect with like-minded people.
People who share similar interests form a "tribe".
And these so-called tribes need leaders who are:
- authentic
- vulnerable
- transparent
Will you be one of them?
3/ The Art of Impossible
The book presents a framework for achieving the unthinkable.
If you want to reach a level of high performance in your field:
- set clear and ambitious goals
- break them into small tasks
- do the work every day
You'll thank me for this one.
4/ Ultralearning
Continuous learning is instrumental to any successful career.
- Make a learning plan
- Try different learning techniques
- Focus on fast and specific feedback
Read more about the framework:
5/ Predictably irrational
We already know that people are irrational.
And psychological and economic factors can predict and explain why.
Find out how:
- the way we frame a situation
- the behavior of others
- our own emotions
affect our decision-making processes.
6/ Antifragile
"Antifragile" refers to things that are able to adapt and improve under stress or disorder.
Some ideas from the author:
- embrace stress
- create optionality
- build decentralized systems
The book will make you rethink your approach to risk management.
7/ Think again
If you want to be successful, you need to continuously:
- be open to new ideas
- consider diverse perspectives
- be willing to revise your beliefs in light of new evidence
Always be aware of and try to avoid confirmation bias.
8/ Building a second brain
“Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.” – David Allen
A "second brain" will help you:
- organize information
- see connections and patterns
- generate new ideas and solve problems
9/ Lifespan
The idea that aging is not fixed or inevitable can be mind-blowing.
We find out how we can influence factors like:
- genetics
- our lifestyle
- supplements intake
To reverse the aging process.
TLDR - 9 Books to give this Christmas:
1. Tribes
2. Lifespan
3. Antifragile
4. Deep Work
5. Think again
6. Ultralearning
7. Predictably Irrational
8. The Art of Impossible
9. Building a Second Brain
