My Book Recommendations
I am passionate about personal development, I find that leaders who have both the theoretical knowledge and the practical expertise are often the most effective. In that context, I read often and whenever I run or drive alone I listen to podcasts, usually on startups.
Since the second half of 2016, I have kept a log of what I have been reading and what my next books to buy are. This post will thus be dynamic and continuously updated, so feel free to check back once in a while. As you will see, there are themes based on the periods that coincide with me pursuing certifications.
If you are interested in podcasts here are the best I have found: Open for Business, StartUp Podcast, Masters of Scale with Reid Hoffman, The McKinsey Report, Freakonomics Radio, and Morten Resen - Startup (For the Danish audience).
