The CK Daily – Book Recommendations?
Happy Friday, folks!
April is almost behind, and I can’t believe how fast this year is flying by!
I love reading books and applying that knowledge to improve areas of my life (business, personal, & spiritual)! However, when we started working from home at the start of the pandemic, I found myself reading far less than when I traveled to the office each day. At that time, I had an Audible subscription, and I had plenty of windshield time to listen to books. To get back in the habit of reading, I’ve set a goal this year to read twelve books (one per month). I’ve finished three so far, so I’m a bit behind.
One of my favorite books is Atomic Habits by James Clear. We use habits in all areas of our life. Some are super simple, like our morning routine, which we do without thinking each day. And the principles of habits very much apply to business. A business process is like a habit. A new process is hard on day 1, gets easier by day 5, and eventually becomes a habit by day 30 or 60. 😀
I’m looking for a couple of book recommendations. What are your top three business books?
