Radical Candor: Give kickass feedback to help your fellow human
Feedback is an essential skill not only for the workplace but everyday life too.
In some form, we’re always giving and receiving feedback, yet many of us suck at it. For me, continuously improving our ability to give clear, concise and valuable feedback is a real game changer in navigating everyday life. It is not a skill we will fully master but it’s something we can get better at everyday to help each of us and those around us too.
Ex-Apple and Googler, Kim Scott, provides a compelling framework in this book Find it here ⬅️.
Harvard Business Review Subscription: Spark those creative thoughts
Probably one of the top 5 investments I make yearly for my own development is that of access to the thoughts, ideas and insights from HBR.

It’s a £100 investment for 12 months but well worth it IMO, find it here ⬅️.

The Algebra of Happiness: The pursuit of love, success and what it all means
I stumbled across the work of Professor Scott Galloway through a recommendation from a work colleague.
Prof G (as he goes by) may not be everyone’s cup of tea but as someone who is getting closer to their 40’s than their 20’s, this particular book spoke to me about the reality of this crazy life we live.
And in particular, why we need to take away the BS filter that education and society often puts in front of us about the reality of living. Find the text here ⬅️.
