Ray Dalio - Principles and Emotional Intelligence from HBS are two books that will help you navigate the word of consulting and are also good conversation topics over a glass of wine

Lean In. Even if you aren’t female. It’s great for insight into different challenges in the workplace

Lean In is the worst book ever. It’s like slut shaming but for working women. Work harder. Try more. Engage faster. B*tch shut up. You with your Harvard degree, maid, nanny and ceo husband (late) of course you can work all day and evening and night and weekend. Come take a look at my utilization! Then do dishes and clean the house, feed the family and do other chores and tell me how much energy you have. It’s the worst book, worst advice and it could have been written in 1 chapter instead of dragging on forever. I initially bought it so excited and looked up to her. Waste of trees. 🎄
