I once heard the quote, “You are who you are based on the people you meet, and the books you read.”
Although there also is some DNA involved, I do agree that we are shaped by our interactions with others, and the reading we do.
That said, as an executive coach and speaker, I realize how often I share ideas and quotes from the books that I read with my audiences.
I am frequently asked for book recommendations, in addition to the ones that I have written.
Here is a list of books that have made a difference to me (in no special order):
•Blink, Malcolm Gladwell
•What Got You Here Won't Get You There, Marshall Goldsmith and Mark Reiter
•Pivot, Alan R. Zimmerman
•Jacked Up, Bill Lane
•The One Thing You Need To Know, Marcus Buckingham (or anything else by him)
•The 4-Hour Workweek, Timothy Ferriss
•The Dip, Seth Godin (or anything else by him)
•Enlightened Leadership, Ed Oakley and Doug Krug
•The Fred Factor, Mark Sanborn
•Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell
•The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz
I would love to get your recommendations, too, so I can check them out, and pass them on! Post a reply here, or e-mail me – marjorie@brodypro.com
