Book Club went audio this month with a list of 5 podcast episodes to dissect in lieu of a traditional book. Each episode explored a performance related theme that sometimes also made interesting parallels to leadership in business. They include:
- Mental Preparation Secrets of Top Athletes, Entertainers, and Surgeons, HBR IdeaCast
- A High-Performance Coach on the Key to Achieving Your Full Potential, HBR IdeaCast
- How to Get Small Wins out of Bad Days, Excellence, Actually
- Lessons on Excellence: Caring, Doing the Word, and Being Antifragile, Excellence, Actually
- Six Books that Changed How We Think About Performance, Excellence, Actually
Our cozy group of six people gathered on the front deck and munched on chicken sausages, sipped on wine, and chatted through each one as the sun set and the twinkling lights lit our notes.
Each new host has the privilege of choosing the book of the month, and if you need inspiration, here is the list from the last podcast episode:
- The Three Marriages by David White
- When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön
- The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey
- Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
- Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew Crawford
- Finite and Infinite Games by James P. Carse
- How to do Nothing by Jenny ODell
