I'm curious to discover some great books to challenge my thinking and change my perspective. Any good ones you have read or heard of lately?
BTW - I'm reading "Working Hard, Hardly Working" and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to achieve more and feels fulfilled.

Alchemy by Rory Sutherland
Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It might be interesting to you. I wrote a review with some of the lessons https://nts.strzibny.name/learni...
The main things to understand is that compromise is bad and your best leverage is knowing the unknowns.
I highly recommend Make Time to anyone who wants to rethink their day-2-day routines, be less reactive, and make time for what's really important. Reading it currently for the 2nd time :)

A book that challenges your perspective?
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
I'd say "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins is a pretty challenging read.
I'm a huge fan off " The 4-Hour Workweek, by Tim Ferriss". Life is all about doing what you love!
The Newsroom
A few I've read / are on my to read list. I'm taking the definition of "challenge your thinking" quite broadly, I hope you'll find something interesting :)
- Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World
- The power of habit
- Talking to strangers
- Educated: a memoir
- Stop reading the news
- Bullsh*t jobs (I read it first as an employee, and I keep it top of mind now as an entrepreneur:)
- Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race
- Me and white supremacy
- Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-First Century
- Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive
And then a fiction book which in covid times I found much closer to a non-fiction: Blindness by Saramago.
Read "The Go-Giver".
Philosophy class:《Sofies verden》
《The Little Blue Reasoning Book:50 Powerful Principles for Clear and Effective Thinking》
《Shih Chi》
