I read the Rich Dad. It was nice to have new perspective when it comes to finance.

I’ve read most of the books on the list. Also considering these reading lists may be contributing to mono-think in corporate America. We all read the same books, may have attended the same schools and are taught to think similarity.

Will only comment that Becoming Steve Jobs is definitely the best bio on him. I’ve read it 2.5 times - aka, it was so amazing that I almost read it a third time but then got distracted by another book halfway thru

This is a good list.

Read

Steve Jobs
Made to Stick
Built to Last
Influence
The Power of Habit
Freakonomics
Shoe Dog
The Innovators Dilemma
Never Split the Difference
Outliers
Good to Great
The Tipping Point
Rich Dad Poor Dad
The Hard Thing about Hard Things
The 7 habits
How to win friends
Start With Why

On my reading list

Zero to one
Lean Startup
The 4 hr work week
The e myth revisited
Blue Ocean Strategy
The 5 dysfunctions of a team
Creativity Inc
Lean In
The intelligent investor
Getting things done

New to me
The personal MBA
Rework

I agree with MCK1 on group think. I think books like Good to great, Built to last, Blue ocean strategy, and even Intelligent investor etc. contribute significantly to group think in upper echelons in corporate America.

Other books like Power of Habit, Influence, Freakonomics, Never split the difference make you smarter.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
