Last month was one of the best months from a reading perspective. I could knock off ten books and I haven’t done ten books a month for a long-long time. And it feels fantastic.

And here they are:

1. There is life after Nobel prize - Eric Kandel

2. The road less traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Values, and Spiritual Growth, 25th Anniversary Edition - Scott M Peck

3. The one thing you need to know... About Great Managing, Great Leading, and Sustained Individual Success - Marcus Buckingham

4. A new way to think: Your Guide to Superior Management Effectiveness - Roger Martin

5. The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty - Simon Baren Cohen 

6. 7 Rules of Power: Surprising—but True—Advice on How to Get Things Done and Advance Your Career - Jeffrey Pfeffer

7. Strategic Doing: Ten Skills for Agile Leadership - Edward Morrison

8. The social life of Information - John Seely Brown

9. Hell Yeah or No: what’s worth doing - Derek Sivers

10. The Utopia of Rules: On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy - David Graeber

And I will touch upon some of these books in greater detail in my writings at appropriate times.
