Books I'll be reading soon!

I have always ‘had an interest’ in how we learn – how we take information in and use it to take action of some sort. I decided to look into this, and other areas of interest a little more by going on a book buying journey, which will lead me to a book reading journey soon! I have also included here books that I already own but have not yet read.

Starting with my short-list of topics I am interested with: People, Learning, Ideas, Innovation, Simplicity.

Books on my list to help me work out where to next:

• “Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love” – Jonathan Fields
• “Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur” – Pamela Slim

People/Learning

• “The Mind and the Brain: Neuroplasticity and the Power of Mental Force” – Jeffrey M. Schwartz
• “The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science” – Norman Doidge
• “Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School” – John Medina
• “How We Decide” – Jonah Lehrer
• “The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century” – James Howard Kunstler
• “The Ruthless Leader” – Alistair McAlpine
• “The Brain” – Richard Restak
• “Learning and Behavior” – James Mazur

Ideas/Innovation

• “Outliers: The Story of Success” – Malcolm Gladwell
• “Lateral Thinking” – Edward De Bono.
• “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking” – Malcolm Gladwell

There’s quite a bit of reading there for the next couple of months – might be time to devote more time to reading instead of digital fiddling! I will be posting reviews as I read the books, along with recommendations & insights!
