I mostly started reading alot since March 2017 up to now. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting alot but, this is what I've been reading or have read so far: Eternal Golden Braid Shoe Dog Creativity Inc High Output Management Game of Thrones Book 1,2,3 Never Split The Difference Presuasion Like Switch Mans Search For Meaning The Hard Things about Hard Things Norse Mythology Ted Talks How To Talk to Anyone How to win friends…

Terrific list....have read most of these myself. Mans Search for Meaning should be at the top of everyone's reading list.

I'll never understand HN's love for self help books. I can barely stand to read more than a chapter of them, so my list won't be that useful.

I'm halfway through Barbara Tuchman's Bible and Sword - an exploration of the relationship between England and Israel/Palestine from the middle ages to 20th century. Tuchman isn't the most accurate person but she's a great writer and gets the general idea across very well.
