Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle by Saul Singer, Dan Senor
5.0
Great book. Easy read. And very interesting to read about a totally different side of Isreal that I only know from mainly negative news stories. Awesome and inspiring to know how their crazy entrepreneurial culture came to be.

Lab Girl by Hope Jahren

The Art of War by Sun Tzu

A great book of ancient wisdom. Requires flexibility of the reader's mind to apply to modern business and leadership. I loved doing just that.

The Penguin Lessons by Tom Michell
4.0
It's books like this that make me wonder: how many amazing stories are out there? It feels like an honor to be part of the journey of Tom and his penguin by reading this story. And to end with a personal note: I have never been this close to tears by a book as I was with this one.
