CEO Pandatron: AI coach driving organizational performance | Researcher | ACMP Board Member
Roughly 7.5 months ago I started about a book per week and posting short book reviews (mostly, a collection of my favorite quotes from each) every Wednesday. You can find them on my LinkedIn page. In this time I've read 33 books. Time to make some conclusions! Here is the list of all the 33 books, ranked best to worst (in my opinion, obviously). Except for just my grade there, of course, also is a short review. Hope this inspires you to read some of them, if so - would be grateful if you let me know, it's always a delight to know if I managed to be helpful ^_^
