Book review

Scott Galloway is the author of “The four”. It is a book you should all read, particularly after Corona. Combine it with “Likewar”, which is about the weaponisation of social media. Also relevant to Corona. Scott recently wrote “Post Corona: From Crisis to Opportunity”. Existential shocks He starts with Aristotle. The smallest thing can create […]

 “The Miracle Club: How Thoughts Become Reality” is a  book about the mind. I found it as I meandered from book to book through other books about the mind. In fact, I have just finished my first draft of my book about books about the power of the mind. Let me know if you are

I picked up “Future-Proof Your Business” because I have an interest in strategy. I think strategy is about predicting the future and placing your business (and yourself) favourably in that future.

Eelco Smith recommended Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork. Eelco is the author of “The not so secret rules to the game of life”. Focus on who The message of the book is very straightforward. Do not focus on how you get things done. Focus on whom you want

For the last few months, I have found myself in the world of work, project, automation, IT, AI, Citizen Development and technology. I think the effects of technology on the world of work are going to be profound. Hence “A World Without Work: Technology, Automation and How We Should Respond”. Where is automation taking us

The head of strategy and growth in PMI, Dave Garrett advised me to read “The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win”. We were discussing citizen development, low-code and no-code, and it must have been very obvious to Dave that I had no clue about IT, coding or software (or

As I am working with Sunil Prashara of PMI on his book, he told me that he wanted his book to be a mix of the “3D CEO”  and “Why Is God Laughing?: One man’s journey to joy and spiritual optimism”. Combining leadership with spirituality. How cool is that? I am a fan of Deepak
