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

โ€œGood to great companies first got the right people on the busโ€”and the wrong people off the busโ€”and then figured out where to drive it.โ€
— Jim Collins

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

โ€œThe best entrepreneurs know this: every great business is built around a secret thatโ€™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.โ€
— Peter Thiel

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

โ€œHow can we discern the trivial many from the vital few?โ€
— George McKoewn
