      Nine lies about work by Marcus Buckingham

      How to know a person by David Brooks

      thread
    2. saaaaaamDec 2019
      Utterly banal content marketing discussion of the books which goes on and on but says very little.

      The books are:

      Range - David Epstein

      Nine Lies About Work - Marcus Buckingham / Ashley Goodall

      Loonshots - Safi Bahcall

      His fluffily meaningless takeaways which apparently bind the three books and are a common theme:

      How can I be better at solving hard problems? Take a bigger view!

      How can I work better with those around me? Trust them to share their knowledge and use that knowledge differently.

      How can I bring new things into the world? Hold the innovation and the delivery in equal regard, give each what it needs, and think hard about what your organization rewards.
