Awesome. Love intention versus action. If you get a chance check out Little Big Things by Tom Peters. Not necessarily on the level of his earlier work but may spark a few video ideas. Great for audio as his voice will get you moving.

My strong suggestion to be part of your list is "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. A little gem that can change a life. It touches deeply on a subject that you have covered in one of your videos: Self-Sabotage.

Four that I think should be on your list: 1. Small is Beautiful - A Study of Economics as if People Mattered by E.F. Schumacher 2. Competitive Strategy both by M.E. Porter. 3. Competitive Advantage both by M.E. Porter. 4. Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Books to read every year. I realise there is likely to be 'debate'' over items 2 and 3 but any non business manager should be reading these to understand their business domain.

My favorite one: John Steinbeck - The Grapes of Wrath - Where they struggle to remain together, led by the vigorous spirit of the mother, Ma Joad. The indestructible force of mankind, the common man united!. Oppressed and beaten , their anger bears fruit, GRAPES OF WRATH, which brings them only more firmly together, more deeply resolved to SURVIVE! Maria Luiza Rodrigues Acerbi a friend of yours. I've studied literature ... Hope someday things get better to me...Thanks for all the things you are teaching me, wihout even noticing that you are doing so....

Interesting you say that. Yesterday I re-listened to your video again and concluded "crucial conversations" would be the best one. Already half-way there. This for me was your most impactful video so far.

I have a small garage, which is full of books inside..where I teach English...I have a business plan, but no money..and the Covid-19 time is dangerous for one to invest on it....My favorite books are: All the books from the Puritan tradition up to American Black writing (American Literature..), Old and Middle English Literature...up to Contemporary fiction(English Literature)....and all the books in the world, including Brazilian famous writers (Machado de Assis, Euclides da Cunha, Gilberto Freyre, Paulo Coelho....and all of those who sent me lots of principles and moral knowledges!. Maria Luiza a simple God's daughter, who had the privilege to travel around the wide world and study a little bit more than many others. I also like math..(laughs) ...My inspiration is Leonardo Da Vinci, Einstein, Gandhi, Martin Luther King and all the others who enchanted me with their shining wise thoughts.
