Someone once told me that if you want to see where you’ll be in five years, just look at the books that you read, and the people you associate with.
Books on Life, Business, Design & Leadership
- The Measure of a Man is a classic book on biblical leadership. I saw the author speak at our church and was truly inspired. God has blessed him with so much insight and knowledge. Definitely a book every man should have in his library.
- The Alpha Factor was written by Wes Ball, a good friend and mentor of mine. It describes the relationship between the “alpha’s” in business, and what really creates market dominance and self-sustaining success. Read more on his blog
- Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks is a really well designed book on creating web forms. Super insightful, and if nothing else, looks amazing on the coffee table.
- Mavericks at Work is an excellent look into the most original minds in business. It’s about leaders who believe in change, and are willing to do what it takes to achieve there goals. Definitely a great read for anyone who is pushing forward.
- The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations is an interesting look into crowdsourcing and the new bread of business.
- The Dip is a quick read that teaches you how to know when to quit and move on. A great book that was very influential in the decision to leave my previous company.
- The Last Jihad is a political thriller about a “chilling fictional future” for America. I can’t read informational books before bed, so we’ve got to throw a good novel in the mix.
These are just a few of the books I’ve been enjoying lately. What have you been reading?
