Follow Bill Gates' lead and read more to continually evolve. Here are five books that teach you how to be more effective and negotiate, get inspired by Nike's success and reflect on human history.
1. “Eight Rules of Efficiency: Smarter, Faster, Better,” Charles Duhigg
With this book, you will change your approach to decision-making, rebuild your day, learn to be more positive and more energetic, and also understand that it is not what we think that matters, but how we think.
2. The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity's Search for Meaning, Jeremy Lente
We are the result of thought patterns we inherited from previous generations. In his new book “Thought Schemes. A History of the Search for Meaning”Jeremy Lent looks back to the past to trace the origins of our principles and values. Some of them are relevant to this day, while others have already outlived theirs.
3. "Shoe Salesman" Phil Knight
Phil Knight founded the world's most successful sports shoe company, Nike. In his book, he tells what inspired him and how the difficult process of creating a popular brand went.
4. Friend & Foe: When to Cooperate, When to Compete, and How to Succeed at Both, Adam Galinsky and Maurice Schweitzer
Successful negotiations are a delicate matter. You need to find the right combination of friendliness and competition. Famous psychologists Galinski and Schweitzer talk about this in their book Friends and Enemies: When is Better to Cooperate, When to Compete, and How to Succeed in Both.
5. "Fixing the Living" by Mailis de Kerangal
This story unfolds over the course of one day, but it touches on eternal human themes. Suffering, hope, survival - we usually try not to think about them, although they are the basis of our being and determine our relationship with others.
