January Monthly Roundup: 3 Books We Recommend

Hello! Several years ago, we decided to share books we've read with an accompanying short book review, along with interviews from a variety of business owners, designers and creative people via Books on the Go. 

As a precursor to that, we want to share with you a list of 3 books a month that we recommend.

January 2018

1. Good to Great
by Jim Collins

“Good to great companies first got the right people on the bus—and the wrong people off the bus—and then figured out where to drive it.”
— Jim Collins

2. From Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future 
by Peter Thiel

“The best entrepreneurs know this: every great business is built around a secret that’s hidden from the outside. A great company is a conspiracy to change the world; when you share your secret, the recipient becomes a fellow conspirator.”
— Peter Thiel

3. Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
by George McKeown

“How can we discern the trivial many from the vital few?”
— George McKoewn
