Atul Gawande’s book, The Checklist Manifesto introduces the checklist: a modified solution to help professionals absorb and master how they execute certain essential tasks that define their responsibilities in their respective industries. Present-day roles in the industry are more intricate in nature, prompting more rigorous training and technology at a more advanced level. However, training and technological advancement are simply not always sufficient. Gawande’s alternative and simplistic solution is based on a checklist that was originally introduced by the American Air Force. This checklist served as a guide to help pilots in maneuvering sophisticated types of aircrafts. Modified into an innovative checklist that suits modern-day industries and professions, it became an effective tool that equipped doctors and nurses worldwide in delivering quick, complete and professional response to all types of accidents and calamities. Aside from the healthcare industry, Gawande’s checklist eventually benefitted businesses such as skyscraper construction and investment banking, along with life-saving protocols involved in disaster response procedures. From Austria to Michigan, real-life accounts of how the checklist has been tremendously helpful are disclosed. These accounts include how an emergency checklist was a key factor in saving a drowning patient who had been submerged underwater for approximately 30 minutes; as well how a cleanliness checklist implemented in intensive care units was instrumental in eradicating a life-threatening infection commonly contracted in hospitals. Gawande, a public health researcher, surgeon and writer, further explains the way checklists trigger urgent and outstanding progress especially in professions where time, precision and efficiency are crucial. The struggle is over for the hardworking workforce of today’s industries. The Checklist Manifesto is the perfect book for people striving to reach the level of competence needed in executing the undertakings that come with their job.

In this relevant and enlightening book, bestselling author of Deep Work shares a philosophy for technology that has helped millions of lives. Digital minimalists exist everywhere—and they’re calm, happy people who can cultivate connections without constantly looking into their phones. They can completely focus on a good book, an artistic project, or even a leisurely morning run. They can enjoy with their friends and family without feeling the urge to use their phones to document it. They are always informed about the news but aren’t overwhelmed by it. They don’t fear missing out because they already know which ones give them meaning and satisfaction. Newport gave a name to this quiet revolution and create a persuasive case of its importance in the world saturated in technology. He provides simple advice—like turning off notification—or even having a “digital Sabbath” for us to get our sense of control back into our lives. He envisions a society where we can unplug completely without experiencing the demands of family, friends, and work. What we need is a conscious method to decide what tools we need, the purpose of those tools, and the conditions under which we’ll use them. Taking on diverse real-life examples, from Amish communities to stressed parents to Silicon Valley programmers, Newport shares the common practices of digital minimalists with ideas underpinning them. He shows that digital minimalists rethink their relationship with technology, rediscover the beauty of the offline world, and reconnect with their inner selves through periods of solitude. He also shares some insights on how we can integrate those practices in our own lives—which starts with a thirty-day “digital declutter.” Technology is neither good nor bad. What we need it to use it to help our goals and values rather than allowing it to use us. Digital Minimalism shows us how. Wait no more, take action and get this book now!

Has progression truly become a far-fetched possibility for us? Steven Pinker, distinguished cognitive psychologist and author thinks otherwise. Indeed, the problems that we are facing today are becoming more and more dreadful; but we have also conquered our primitive and ill-advised problem-solving approaches. In this book, Pinker stresses that Enlightenment’s ideal of using science and reason over the impractical and perilous implications of excessively idealistic, religious and political beliefs has been instrumental in unlocking numerous advancements in economic growth, healthcare, food security, science and technology, safety and solidarity among nations. Backed by seventy-five comprehensive graphs, this book exhibits how intellectual reasoning and deduction, along with the significant improvements in technology, research and education, have proven that now is the best time to be alive. Check out Steven Pinker’s Enlightenment Now and discover how its ideals are the key to continuously improving our lives.

This was the biggest investment of his career. Larry Page and Sergey Brin had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy, and great ambitions—but they had no real business plan. To change the world or even simply survive, Google had to make strong choices on priorities while keeping their team on track. They needed to know when to pull the plug or even fail fast. They needed timely, relevant data to monitor their progress—to measure what mattered. Doerr helped them with a proven approach to operating excellence: Objectives and Key Results. He discovered OKRs in the 1970s when he was an engineer at Intel, where Andy Grove, the greatest manager of his era, drove the amazingly run company. As a venture capitalist, Doerr shared Grove’s brainchild with more than fifty companies and whenever it was faithfully practiced, it worked. Objectives define what we want to achieve while key results are about how those goals will be attained through specific, measurable actions within a set time frame. Everyone’s goals—from entry-level to CEO are transparent to the whole company. Its benefits are profound as OKRs help with an organization’s most important work—they focus their effort and foster coordination. They help keep employees on track and they link objectives across teams to strengthen the entire company. OKRs eventually also improve workplace satisfaction and employee retention. Doerr shares a broad range of in-depth look into various companies including the Gates Foundation and Bono to show the focus, agility, and explosive growth that OKRs have created in the leading organizations. This book will create a new generation of leaders that capture the same magic. Wait no more, take action and get this book now!

Michael Pollan wanted to research LSD and psilocybin and how it could provide relief to people suffering from conditions that are difficult to treat such as depression, addiction, and anxiety. This didn’t intend to be his most personal book but, because of how these substances could improve the lives even of the people with mental health problems, Pollan began to explore the landscape of the mind from his own experience. This began an adventure into the altered states of consciousness backed by the latest research on the brain and an underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan switched from historical records in order to separate the myth from the truth that have been around since the 1960s—which set a backlash against psychedelic evangelists from the originally promising field of research. A perfect blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind serves as a participatory journalism that gives a gripping account of the world of understanding the mind, the self, and our place in the world.
