A lot of below recos are around behavioral psychology / org behavior driven. Not sure if that's what you are asking for but here you go . . . .Drive by Dan pink. Nudge by Robert thaler. Flow by mihalyi cziksentmihalyi. Mindset by Carol dweck. Grit by Angela duckworth. Smarter faster better and the power of habit by Charles duhigg. Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise – Anders Ericsson
Essentialism by Greg McKeown. The war of art by Steven pressfield. A mind for numbers by Barbara Oakley.
Deep Work – Cal Newport.
So Good they can’t ignore you – Cal Newport.

Suggest you watch their TED talks/a youtube book summary to find if the premise interests you. I'm trying to consciously do this as well.

I'm the only employee with a background in finance in a tech startup growing at a 300%+ per year.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
