The Materials Today

Every day I aim to learn something new and gain more understanding both personally and in business. The books that stick out right now which are pushing me forward are listed here:

  • Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action – I am working through this book with my team at Inovalon to understand not only our jobs and roles within the organization but also as a tool to have more apparent communication/influence since it all starts with “why”.
  • The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business – I’ve been listening to this on a daily basis (the audiobook through google) and have fallen in love as I am working on personal habits like exercise, sleep, productivity, and much more. But, the book uses how habits form on a personal level to explain how organizational patterns are developed and how you could influence corporations to choose the right keystone habits.
  • A Walk Across America – Right now there is a significant pull towards adventure in everything I do. My father-in-law knew this and bought this book for me plan out my next long weekend on the Appalachian Trail and a possible climb on Mt. Rainer.
  • The Five Minute Journal: A Happier You in 5 Minutes a Day – One of the best journals I’ve had in a long time. Or, maybe the best ever since I don’t journal. But as I work through building out my mission in life and goals, I have been watching high performing people and learning the habits they focus on. These habits often have an early morning with journaling as a ritual. I’ll talk more about rituals in future posts!

Let me know what books I should check out to keep my learning and being more productive in my life! Here are the cover of the books to help you find them (and yes help support this site and free information).
