Victoria Devine's book, "She's on the Money," is a financial guide tailored for women, and it Such a great read about setting yourself up for financial freedom!
- Three Body Problem Trilogy - Cixin Liu
I've always loved science fiction; this trilogy has redefined the genre. The concepts and sci-fi elements are mind-blowing. 10/10 can recommend.
- The Dictionary People - Sarah Ogilvie
This is a brilliant book about the creation of the first Oxford English Dictionary and all the people who contributed it over the 40 years it took to make!
- Cult of the Dead Cow - Joseph Menn
This audiobook covers the history of one of the most popular hacktivist groups and how they helped to shape the culture of the internet and cybersecurity today.
- Recipe Tin Eats cookbook - Nagi Maehashi
This cookbook has fantastic recipes that are homely but not too hard to cook. Perfect for helping decide what's for dinner when you have no idea.
- The Handmaid's Tail - Margaret Atwood
I am enjoying how deep and thought-provoking the book is.
- Surviving to Drive - Gunther Steiner
Currently listening to the audiobook version by Guenther Steiner, a former F1 team principal. I love the insights and little details of the F1 world and what’s required to actually run a racing team.
- Dare to Lead - Brené Brown
Even if you don't lead a direct team, I highly recommend this book. So many insightful pieces of wisdom and experience that can be applied to many different aspects of life!
- The Hard Things About Hard Things - Ben Horowitz
All of the ups and downs of building (and mostly the hardships!) of building a company/startup from the ground up. This is a must-read if you are interested in startups and understanding the workings and risks of starting a new business.
- Multipliers - Liz Wiseman and Greg McKeown
Whether you are a people leader or not, this book is the north star to leadership. Even if you don’t lead a team, it helps to calibrate your thinking to what traits a “growth” or multiplier leader exhibits vs a “diminisher”. Sometimes leaders are “accidental diminishers” with the best intentions and this book helps them to realise what they can upgrade.
