There's a ton of self help and leadership books out there to help people in their careers. If there was one that was written front the lense of a public accounting, would you read it?

Depends on who wrote it. If it was run of the mill line partner probably not, I'm not interested in reading about anecdotes from some random person based on their personal experience. But I might consider it if it was a well researched book from a service line leader or similar written in conjunction with an expert on productivity, management, etc.

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about. The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

Like me, you have dated a million times and yet can’t seem to get it right. If you have ever wondered, whether in silence or out loud, “what’s wrong with me?”, this book is for you. I’ve heard a million times that communication is the key to a successful relationship. However, nobody taught me what effective communication is. How many conversations have I had in my head that lead to a conclusion without ever involving the other party? Countless! If this resonates, this book is for you.

Recently started a book about politics and the author argues that we (the educated, professional class) are to blame for polarization. Since we are well paid and generally unaffected regardless of who is in power, our positions on issues can be uncompromising. Furthermore, we don’t go out and really engage in campaigns. This is because we’d rather argue amongst ourselves from home. This leads to vacuums where bad actors can take up the mantle of leadership. What do you think about that?
