Books
This page shares a current set of books I am reading.
There is a whole world of influence out there. I read multiple books at once because I jump from insight to insight and rarely find the mood to just stick with a single topic. I might read a chapter 2 or 3 times, just to let the idea sink into context.
I draw a lot of organization talent, change, and leadership from almost any source: from history and economics through business writing. Many books influence blogs. I source liberally and transparently. Each book below has a direct Amazon Associates link for further details. Another great Kindle feature is storing, viewing, retrieving, and printing your highlights from an Amazon profile, even sharing or viewing highlights from others.
Books below are not a list of my intellectual capacity, but a thirst for knowledge beyond what a single book at a time provides.
This list will revolve, latest book on top. As I read I take a lot of notes, this why I love the Amazon Kindle DX‘s large screen; the Kindle is not a tablet, an intentional choice of mine to allow me to read without social media status updates to draw my focus.
I welcome your comments and thoughts on any of the books I list. Also, please recommend any book you found interesting and reasons why.
As of [date], here are 5 books:
1 of 5 – About Face 3: The Essentials of Interaction Design
Research on the buyer and community persona for organization strategy and development blog series underway led me into design thinking strategies of David Meerman Scott, Adele Revella, and Lene Nielsen.
Originally written in 1995 About Face 3 is actually the third edition from authors, Alan Cooper, Robert Reimann, and David Cronin who have been thinking, working, and advocating form, function, content, and behavior concepts through interaction design for “knowing what the user wants” for decades.
