Ray’s ideas and the way he runs his business really resonated with me. It goes on about the importance of meaningful relationships and the value of honest and candid feedback. Principles: Life and Work by Ray Dalio – this was by far one of my favourite books of this year.It examines what factors lie behind outstanding achievement and the importance of passion and perseverance over talent or luck. Grit: The Power of passion and perseverance by Angela Duckworth – I loved this book.It explains the value of having clear priorities and being disciplined and conscious of how, and where you spend your energy, and the importance of simplicity. Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown – I know a lot of people who could learn a lot from this book, me included.I also enjoyed Give and Take by Adam too. It goes into how people can cultivate creative and novel ideas and the value of doing so.

Joy on Demand: The Art of Discovering the Happiness Within by Chade-Meng Tan – I really enjoyed Chade-Meng Tan’s first book.I really enjoyed it however and learnt a lot that ended up being useful when setting our strategy and objectives at work. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect of this book and was a bit skeptical about reading it since all I know of Alistair Campbell is how he was Tony Blair’s spin doctor for years. Winners: and How They Succeed by Alistair Campbell – this book explores the mindsets and strategies implemented by a variety of impressive people from politicians, business leaders, sports people, and the Queen.It mainly focuses on accidents and things that go wrong in the wild, but the core concepts can be applied to any difficult situation. Deep Survival: Who Lives and Dies and Why by Laurence Gonzales – this was an interesting read exploring the mindsets cultivated by people who find themselves in extremely frightening and life threatening situations.
