Bounce by Mathew Syed
This is a great read where Syed, an ex-professional table tennis player, discusses what it takes to rise to the top. I am a competitive person and always appreciate the first hand experience of world class athletes who can parlay their learnings into every day life and, by extension, business. Like Gladwell in Outliers, Syed suggests that practice really does make perfect. This book resonated with me as 1. I am trying to take the title of office champ in table tennis and 2. It is always nice to hear that hard work and grit go a long way to success in business and beyond.
Eight Step Swing by Jim Mclean
Yes, this is a book about the fundamentals of the golf swing. Having said that, it is written by one the greats and discusses with incredible clarity both the art and science of the golf swing. Mclean has had huge success coaching some of the finest players in the game and brings forward not only some of those pointed lessons but lots of philosophies on how to keep it simple and effective while playing. The book resonated with me as golf like business is about mechanics and “feel,” and finding the balance when the heat is on.
What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell
I can read and or listen to Malcolm for long periods of time. He has an inquisitive mind and turns things from seemingly mundane to very interesting. This is a collection of essays and all of them are interesting. Gladwell’s gift is that he looks at things differently and by extension makes the reader have several “ah hah” moments. Not a bad lesson for business I would say. Accept nothing as status quo without asking the right questions…
