Book recommendations?

[Alice G]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to bring this thread back up and ask what you guys have all been reading this past year and what you have found interesting - this includes fiction and non-fiction, commercial-related stuff and books that could not be further from it (we cannot live and breathe commercial awareness guys!!)

Thanks in advance!!

I recently read Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou. I'd really recommend it, it's now one of my favourite books.

ah brilliant! I will take a look. I am reading James O'Brien's book 'How to be right in a world that's going wrong' which is pretty good!

Just finished reading 'Politics: In Between the Extremes' by Nick Clegg. Its a really interesting account (both personal and professional) of his time in the Conservative/ Lib Dem coalition government from 2010 to 2015. He also tries to explain why there has been a rise in people associating with the extreme right and left of the political spectrum in recent years. Really interesting read!

Sounds interesting, I will give this a read!

Loved his first one!! Does the book hinge on the data privacy issues and political advertising etc?

Definitely recommend Too Big To Fail! It's a great insight into what lawyers do and an easily understandable version of the financial crisis.

On a different note, if any of you guys procrastinate like me by watching motivational videos on YouTube...this has to be my favourite:

Feel free to share any videos you find motivating!
