In this episode, Conor Brown and I share ten books that have shaped how we approach business, creativity, and life. We each brought our top picks, a mix of fiction and nonfiction, and talked about why these stories and ideas stuck with us long after we finished reading them. From leadership and creativity to storytelling and personal growth, these books have influenced how we make decisions, solve problems, and think about the world around us. If you’re always on the lookout for your next great read, this episode is packed with recommendations. ---------------------- Key Takeaways A good book stays with you: The titles we remember years later are usually the ones that changed how we see something. Fiction can teach powerful lessons: Great stories often reveal insights about people, decisions, and leadership in ways nonfiction can’t. Reading across genres builds better thinking: Mixing fiction and nonfiction exposes you to different ways of solving problems. Ideas compound over time: The more you read, the more connections you start to see between different concepts and disciplines. ---------------------- Books Mentioned in This Episode Jeff's Nonfiction Book Picks Move, Think, Rest by Natalie Nixon Wealthy and Well-Known by Rory Vaden Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull 5 Mere Christians by Jordan Raynor Talk Like TED by Carmine Gallo Conor's Nonfiction Book Picks The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday The War of Art by Steven Pressfield Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport It’s Better to Be Feared by Seth Wickersham The Dynasty by Jeff Benedict A Course Called Ireland by Tom Coyne Jeff's Fiction Book Picks The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S.
