So many of the Malcolm Gladwell ones. You maybe have already checked those out. Also I heard an NPR thing about this French scientist who studies the emotions of chimps, and he had a book that sounded amazing but forgot the title - you could find by googling.

How do you think your company is faring the new market conditions, and do you think the measures taken have been fair? So far at KPMG no layoffs, but no bonus or merit increases. Promotion increases are still happening, but hard to tell if promotions are going to be that common. Overall I believe the firm has done a good job of communication of measures taken both economically and logistically (not returning to office till at least 2021).
