1: 12 Rules for life, Jordan Peterson Ignore the controversy, this book will change your life for the better. Get the audio version Peterson narrates and it adds an extra dimension.

2: The Obesity Code, Dr Fung Probably the most eloquent and effective breakdown of how and why obesity comes to be and what to do about it. As a bonus, it’s really funny!

3:Not Alone, Craig Falconer I picked this up on a whim and enjoyed it more than any other work of fiction in the past year. It’s a first contact story that focuses on the media and politics.

4:Measure what matters, John Doer This book has transformed how my team runs. Anyone in any kind of management role should read this book.

5:Win Bigly, Scott Adams I’m going to be controversial with this one. It’s an interesting story that provides more practical tools for persuasion than any book I’ve ever read (and I’ve read every popular book on the topic). If you want to know how to apply influence read this book.

I enjoyed Win Bigly. The part I found intriguing was one where he describes a three-act-movie structure.

What is the controversy about 12 rules for life? I enjoyed the book, but it did not move me much. I found it a repetition of viewpoints in other books.
