Krish encourages everyone to give reading a chance, even if it's not your natural inclination. After all, you never know what wisdom lies within those pages waiting to be discovered.

He has given list with the following notes:

“Both books and booklists are public. Liking a book? That is personal.

1. I have included the classics [most] – including almost all the ones I had to read through in my Prosci Experienced Practitioner Journey
2. I have included the popular ones [including a couple articles]
3. I have included some books to widen the perspective we [Change Practitioners] have
4. I have included some, just because.

Here is a thought: Perhaps you don’t like reading [or think you don’t]. Neither should stop you from reading.”
