Last Chance to See
by
"Recommended by Jan Schlink (Switzerland) "I'd like to share my favourite story. The only non-fictional book by Douglas Adams, which is almost unreal in its humour and compassion""

The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry
by
"Recommended by Lindsay Smith (UK) - "this book kept me completely shocked the entire way through. He tells the story of what a "psychopath" is through different perspectives, from the CEO of a huge company to a guy who faked being a psychopath to get out of a prison sentence and he now can't get out of Canada's most secure psychiatric prison because his acting was so convincing. Never read a non-fiction title so quickly!""

Capital in the Twenty First Century
by
"Recommended by Jean-Marc Champagne (HK) - "Although not the central theme of the book, we can make some inferences on how the global growing wealth gap can have enormous negative impacts on the environment.
Separately, Piketty also has an essay out addressing poverty and climate change. Also a great read."" |

This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate
by
"Recommended by Laura Oxley (UK) - "While it's a bit US-centric, and a little flowery at times, overall it's excellent. She beautifully articulates the underlying problems that capitalism as an economic/social model poses for climate action, and the examples she uses to back up her arguments paint a good picture of evidence - many 'that's something I need to keep in the brain-vault' moments while reading""

Death by Meeting: A Leadership Fable… about Solving the Most Painful Problem in Business
by
"Recommended by Alice More O'Ferrall (int), in turn recommended by Marsden Momanyi - "it's a fascinating insight into how to have better meetings.
'In his latest page-turning work of business fiction, best-selling author Patrick Lencioni provides readers with another powerful and thought-provoking book, this one centered around a cure for the most painful yet underestimated problem of modern business: bad meetings. And what he suggests is both simple and revolutionary.'"" |
