Take the time to recharge. Read some novels or biographies if that’s your passion, not a management book.

I’ve heard When McKinsey Comes to Town is good.

Please, it's your time off. Just run straight into the woods and scream. Reads no books.

You got that much time off coming up? You should write the book. Tell us!

You can’t win a fight with your boss

The Art of War, The 48 Laws of Power, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F$&k.

The reading list of a bitter individual.

Aren’t management books just glorified self-help?

If that’s your passion, then read “start with why”.
Otherwise - read a decent fiction book or an autobiography.
You can also use the time off to take a gym class you’ve been wanting to try, or learn a new recipe, or just sleep in. I had some days off recently and I just binge-watched a show on Hulu.

Leaders Eat last by Simon Sinek. It's very inspiring and lota of relatable parts of the book. It opens you to a realistic and idealistic sides of business conditions and how leaders are supposed to be in terms of management.

Team of Teams or Extreme Ownership. Interesting enough to qualify for time off reading, but applicable to work as well.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
