Month: December 2016

Unlike previous years, I didn’t complete all the books below cover-to-cover. Instead, for most books I just picked a few chapters to read, and learn as much as possible. There are some good ones though (i.e. I finished the whole book) … and you can tell how the state of my mind changed, along the year, with the reading sequence.

1. The Art of the Start 2.0: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything
2. Beyond Measure: The Big Impact of Small Changes (TED Books)
3. The Year Without Pants: WordPress.com and the Future of Work
4. The Lean Product Playbook: How to Innovate with Minimum Viable Products and Rapid Customer Feedback
5. The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business
6. Getting There: A Book of Mentors
7. With Her Eyes (Short Stories by Liu Cixin Book 11)
8. The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers
9. TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking
10. Magicians of the Gods: Sequel to the International Bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods
11. The Seventh Sense: Power, Fortune, and Survival in the Age of Networks
12. Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It
13. Competing Against Luck: The Story of Innovation and Customer Choice

And there are a few I have yet to start … hope I can finish those in early 2017.
