Recommended Reads, 42nd in a Quarterly Series

Stuff I read lately that I'd recommend:

Truman (McCullough). Fascinating account of an underrated and unique president.

Talking to GOATs: The Moments You Remember and the Stories You Never Heard (Gray).  The title is apt: it was cool to get a close-in account of the famous moments but also of off-the-beaten-path anecdotes.

A Promised Land (Obama).  Loved getting the inside scoop on recent history; can't wait for the follow-up book on his second term.

How to Lead: Wisdom from the World's Greatest CEOs, Founders, and Game Changers (Rubenstein).  Really enjoyed hearing from so many and so varied accomplished folks.

The Art of Woo: Using Strategic Persuasion to Sell Your Ideas (Shell, Moussa).  Picked up a few leadership pointers along the way.

How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy (Odell).  A fascinating and multi-faceted look at why we struggle to disengage and how to actively combat that.
