Fiction: Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons.

Nonfiction: Nudge by Carl Sunstein and Richard Thaler

An old chestnut but would still love to hear your advice: i am fairly certain a key senior stakeholder is being difficult because he perceives me as a senior non white woman trying to boss him around.

TIA!
