Recommended reading/learning
Here are a few books that I recommend. I'll add to this list over time as I read new things or remember old things.
This page does contain affiliate links. But the recommendations are genuine. These were all useful to me.
Learning
- Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning - Peter C. Brown - OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!!
Habits
There are 2 habit formation books I recommend. I've read them both, you probably only need to read one of these:
- The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do, and How to Change - Charles Duhigg
- Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones - James Clear
I read "The power of Habits" first so Atomic habits was not as impactful for me. There is a lot of overlap between the books. I do think Atomic Habits adds some new tools to the toolbox, specifically the concept of "voting" for who you want to be.
Writing
The written word is very powerful. I got a lot from these:
- On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft - Stephen King
- Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life - Anne Lamott
Public speaking
This is where I got my intense dislike for podiums:
Talk Like TED: The 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds - Carmine Gallo
Design
Never look at doorhandles the same again:
