I’d do YouTube videos not books! You learn more faster in videos. You don’t really need an extreme depth of understanding for case interviews and general consulting ideas so videos are more fitting than books.

Great way to lose your job!

What kind of consulting?
If staying in healthcare: zero trend by eddington, innovator prescription by christensen, cost disease (can’t remember author)

Generally good irrespective of field: taleb’s books, something truly new (author escapes me), extreme ownership by willink, against the gods (author escapes me), edward tufte’s lectures (books are meh)

Good fiction for plane rides: joe abercrombie

Edit: save yourself a million tears and take a powerpoint course
