This year’s most thought-provoking tomes include Tyler Cowen and Daniel Gross’ “How to Identify Energisers, Creators, and Winners Around the World”.
Ray Bradbury once wrote that books are dangerous because reading them can lead you to change your mind. That danger is also what makes a good book such a delight to read. In compiling this year’s list of the best nonfiction, I’ve borne Bradbury’s admonition in mind. The volumes I’ve chosen all made me stop and rethink something I thought I understood.
In my experience, books aimed at helping managers do their jobs better tend to be long on anecdotes and short on data. But this one is different – and not only because there’s data aplenty. The authors have spotted a glaring weakness in the corporate model, the persistent mismatch between what a company needs and how it hires. And don’t worry: There’s advice too.As the title promises, the author uses physics to consider several existential conundrums.
I promise I don’t only read serious books. This year, for example, I also enjoyed Brian Butterworth’sRebel with a Clause: Tales and Tips from a Roving Grammarian– even if I didn’t grow up worshiping Dylan the way so many of my generation did.
