Work-wise: helps appreciate teammates & makes it easier to collaborate.3/ Finite and Infinite Games, James P. Carse — gives (a really rare) shift of perspective on multiple domains of life.
- The Lazarus Vendetta by Robert Ludlum. An essential masterpiece in cyberspace, secrecy, FBI, The White House and behind the scenes of every terrorist group.P.S: My All-time best read(3yrs now and counting)
- Brave New World by A Huxley- It's such a classic.
- A lot but I remember Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind as it was so effective in describing odors, smells and the Medioeval Paris grittiness I could bet I've been there.
- I am also re-reading all my childhood books to reignite my creativity and it is working absolute wonders .... wind in the willows, narnia books, roald dahl etc... so i would highly recommend revisiting childhood books for adults for a reading list.
- Poisonwood Bible - takes a while to get into but it's amazing. Also Practical Magic if you want something less heavy, it's so much better than the film (which was amazing)
- the Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo
- Hi Pip :)Do/ Pause / You are not a to do list by Robert Poynton (Do Books)It's a lovely read and made me reconsider my lifestyle.
- Hi Pip,All the Roald Dahl books shaped my imagination as a child- fabulous! If I had to choose one it would be the BFG.
