  • If God was a Banker

    By: Ravi Subramanian   

    Pages: 260

    Fiction

    My recommendation: 9 / 10

    Date read: 10th Jan'17

    Brief review: Though a fiction, it closely resembles the current corporate world environment. A gripping tale of two individuals who rose above the rest in their careers. While one of them could not control the lure of success and power, the other one resembles a true example of ethics and self control. The story is so very well crafted, I could not resist to reach the end. One of the few books I finished in one sitting. Ravi Subramanian is a great story teller and at the same time gives subtle message to people in the corporate world to demonstrate better ethics and look from a longer term perspective.

    Health

    My recommendation: 10 / 10

    Date read: 8th Jan'17

    Brief review: A must read for all who are looking to prevent illness and live a healthy life. Harvey explains the composition of human body in simple language and how we can take care of our body by eating right. You would perhaps not find a simpler book on health than this. I would recommend to read cover to cover for best results.

    Brief review: Donald Trump asked several leaders of America's most thriving companies about the 'Best business advice I ever received' and this book is a compilation of those advice. I found most the advice to be simple, practical and workable. A brilliant read.

  • Start with Why

    By: Simon Sinek   

    Pages: 231

    Business

    My recommendation: 8 / 10

    Date read: 8th Oct'16

    Brief review: Want to be successful? Start with why. That's what Simon Sinek advocates in this book.  He says - in business it doesn't matter what you do but why you do it. He refers to some of the global leaders and suggests they all started with why. Once why is at the core of our vision, all our activities should be aligned with it. This book will surely bring clarity to your own vision.
