As a kid, I remember seeing commercials that ended with the phrase “Reading is Fundamental!” As a kid, I didn’t really appreciate that concept but now I understand how reading can equip individuals with skills to succeed. I’ve learned that reading can supplement mentorship from biographies or books that share many anecdotes of successful individuals. As I take on this new journey as a startup coach and early stage investor, I want 2016 to be a year characterized by my acquisition of new skills.
Below are the books I have read so far in 2016 and the corresponding link to the “Reading Rainbow Review.” I will periodically update this page so stay tuned to see what books I have read.
January 2016
Search Inside Yourself by Chade-Meng Tan (Reading Rainbow Review)
Networking is Dead: Making Connections that Matter by Melissa Wilson & Larry Mohl (Reading Rainbow Review)
Smarter Than You Think by Clive Thompson (Reading Rainbow Review)
