Always interested in knowing what others have enjoyed.
Here are mine.
Books
- The Time Keeper
by Mitch Albom—great perspective inducing parable in classic Albom style
- Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power-a much deeper appreciation of the man…and what made him special. Any politician (and that’s all of us) will appreciate his savvy.
- Without Reservations: How a Family Root Beer Stand Grew Into a Global Hotel Company
--nothing earth shattering here, but a great “back to basics” book from a guy who knows a thing or two about building a business (Bill Marriott)
- The Great Work of Your Life: A Guide for the Journey to Your True Calling
- A friend of mine sold me on this hard. He claimed it changed his life. I really wanted it to change mine…but it fell flat for me.
- What Keeps Leaders Up at Night: Recognizing and Resolving Your Most Troubling Management Issues-the NFO got this for me out of the library and though I didn’t finish it, it did give me some great ideas. Managing the careers of other people is a big responsibility…and I have a lot to learn. A lot.
Movies
- About Time
-it was a late night flight back from Denver, but this one had me choked up. I need a lot of reminders about what is truly important in life. It’s an area of weakness, I am afraid.
- Flight
- I’m a big Denzel fan and I found his character to be riveting. A strong movie about what it takes to look hard at ourselves…and what can happen when we don’t.
Working through…
- Thinking, Fast and Slow
by Daniel Kahneman. Deep stuff. Makes you think fast, but reading is slow because there’s so much involved.
