bossypants-by-tina-fey

At last, Tina Fey’s story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night live.

not-that-kind-of-girl-by-lena-dunham

In The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women, Young gives these women the solution they have been seek­ing. Combining insightful analysis with effective ad­vice and anecdotes, she explains what the impostor syndrome is.

Cutting to the core of what ambition can provide—the essential elements of a fulfilling life—Fels describes why, for women but not for men, ambition still remains fraught with often painful conflict.

necessary-dreams-by-anna-fels

She poses invaluable questions: What is the nature of ambition and how important is it in a woman’s life? What are the forces that promote or impede its development?

To what extent does ambition go against a woman’s very nature? And she challenges currently held theories about the state of mind and the needs of men.

Incisive and highly readable, Necessary Dreams is a unique exploration of the options and obstacles women face in the pursuit of their goals. It is a book that every woman will want—and need—to read.

“Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I’ll shut up about it?”

is-everyone-hanging-out-without-me-and-other-concerns-by-mindy-kalin

In Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Mindy invites readers on a tour of her life and her unscientific observations on romance, friendship, and Hollywood, with several conveniently placed stopping points for you to run errands and make phone calls.

Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who’ve watched his TED Talk based on START WITH WHY — the third most popular TED video of all time.

Sinek starts with a fundamental question: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others?

Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over?

#30. The Design of Business by Roger Martin

Most companies today have innovation envy. They yearn to come up with a game—changing innovation like Apple’s iPod, or create an entirely new category like Facebook.

Many make genuine efforts to be innovative—they spend on R&D, bring in creative designers, and hire innovation consultants. But they get disappointing results.

the-design-of-business-by-roger-martin

Why? In The Design of Business, Roger Martin offers a compelling and provocative answer: we rely far too exclusively on analytical thinking, which merely refines current knowledge, producing small improvements to the status quo.

Martin shows how leading companies such as Procter & Gamble, Cirque du Soleil, RIM, and others use design thinking to push knowledge through the stages in ways that produce breakthrough innovations and competitive advantage.

#31. Remote by Jason Fried & David Hansson

Enthusiastic and hard-working, Black was one of the first women to take a major role in American magazine and newspaper publishing.

basic-black-the-essential-guide-for-getting-ahead-at-work-and-in-life-by-cathie-black

It’s an interesting portrait of a groundbreaking career, but Black backs up her own story with only a note or two of advice.

Waiting until nearly the end of the book to tackle what she originally claims is her main point: the 360 Life, or the difficulty of balancing work with personal life.

While the author’s life is an interesting one, readers looking for tips will do better with a more pointed book.

    I am adding a few of these to my reading list! I think they woll serve as great reminders when i decide to quit my full time and go into business for myself.
