A listener mentioned that we talk a lot about books we've read, both in a positive way and joking at their expense. So he posed this question:

What are some great books for leaders and knowledge workers to read, and what are some not-so-great books to avoid?

This episode's question:

Don't forget that next month (episode 53, specifically) we'll be discussing Mark Manson's book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, so give it a read!
