This year’s reading list is some 50% thinner than it usually gets, but hey ho. I blame missing commute in 2021.
- From “Small Giants by Bo Burlingham” I learned that if you want a company that cares, you need people who care, and they need to be motivated by more than money
- From “Skin in the Game by Nassim Nicholas Taleb” I learned that a doctor is pushed by the system to transfer risk from himself to you, from the present into the future.
- From “Zilch by Nancy Lublin” I learned that if you need to ask for something, be as specific as possible, see “This thing X will cost you Y and will help Z number of women.”
Reading through my notes, I’m sure I’ll re-read some of the books from this year. The complete list:
