My all time favorite business book is still The Innovator’s Dilemma. I’ve read dozens since then but none are as good.

More recently I’ve enjoyed Discovery Driven Growth. A little repetitive but a good read.

In the spirit of this bowl, The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel is fantastic

He does a great job at breaking it down into its simplest form. People get so intimidated by investing and saving (understandably so) but it really should be second nature. Love that book

Has anyone else felt like they were blindly drinking the “kool aid” about their PG/firm’s culture? As a 5th year associate who has only ever worked in one firm and has no point of reference for different “cultures”, I sometimes wonder if I’ve been brainwashed.

I realized recently that I can turn my “super associate” persona at any time. I had it off during covid when my kids needed me and got a bad review. So now it’s back on. I’m responding to midnight emails (and daytime ones in under 20 minutes) and getting work done the same morning. I’m spending countless hours doing edits over edits. I actually don’t like super associate. Why do people live like this 24/7?!? 🤔

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.
