Time for another Friday Five and this time, it’s about books. A common trait for every successful person is they read 10 - 12 nonfiction books a year or more. So Here are 5 more you can add to your reading list.
Linchpin, by Seth Godin. This is THE book for creatives in my opinion. It changed everything about the way I approach my work and is one of those rare books that I gift as regularly as I re-read it. In fact, I always have a couple of copies on-hand to give on a moment’s notice. If your job requires you to create in any way, you absolutely need to read this.
The 4-Hour Work Week, by Tim Ferriss. Whether you plan to quit your job and work for yourself, or continue on in the corporate world forever, this book has a brilliant approach to productivity and time management that you should read. And it will make you re-think everything you know about success.
Orbiting the Giant Hairball, by Gordan MacKenzie. I read this back in high school and still use it as a basis for trainings today. This book will teach you how to think differently and thrive in a corporate environment even if you don’t think that’s your thing. It’s a brilliant little book.
The Dip, Seth Godin. Godin makes the list twice (although I could do a whole list of just his work, truthfully) because this book is also essential reading for creatives. There comes a point in every new creative endeavor when you hit the wall an have to push through. The Dip will show you how. It’s fantastic.
EntreLeadership, by Dave Ramsey. If you are ever going to be leader of people, you need to read this book. It’s the most practical, common sense approach to management I’ve ever read and the best part is- the stuff works. You can’t ask for more than that from a business book.
There you go- fire up your Kindles, or iBooks, or head over to Audible or Oyster or heck, maybe even stop by Barnes & Nobles. I don’t care, I’m not getting paid by any of them anyway. Happy reading!
