Morning everyone! On my last day, I want to share some of my favorite books with you. All of them aren’t about marketing - I’m sure you’ve read many of those. Yet, these books somehow helped me at work and inspired me a lot.
1. Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg.
Although there’ve been some scandals around Sandberg and the book itself is controversial at times, it’s still one of the most motivational work-related books I’ve ever read. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LMTDL0

I came across Lean In when I was unhappy with my job and thought about applying for another one. I didn’t have the guts to apply for it (thank you, impostor syndrome!), and this book was one of the reasons I did it anyway.
If you’re unsure if Lean In could be a good read for you, you can start by watching this TED talk: . Sandberg gave it before writing the book.
2. Everybody Lies by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz.
This book opened my eyes to how far from reality any statistics can be. It also confirmed that you shouldn’t compare yourself with others based on what they share with the outside world. https://www.amazon.com/Everybody-Lies-Internet-About-Really/dp/0062390856

What I liked about Everybody Lies is that it’s full of interesting examples. You can learn about some of them by reading this article: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/09/everybody-lies-how-google-reveals-darkest-secrets-seth-stephens-davidowitz.
3. The Ideal Executive by Dr. Ichak Kalderon Adizes
A must-read for those who need to manage people and form teams around them. And for those who want to understand what mistakes their bosses make from the management perspective

The book explains why there’s no such thing as an “ideal executive” and what to do about it. Its main thought is that there are four types of management styles, you can’t be good at all of them, but you can compose a team of professionals who would complement each other.
