The following list are recommended by Daniel Pink and his readers in his book, “Drive”. First, if you haven’t read Pink’s book, put it at the top of your list. Because I love the insights and strategies Pink submits, I am definitely going to try to read some, if not all, of these books. If you have any insight about which ones I should read first, I welcome your feedback.

Pink’s Recommendations:
The reason I am putting two of the books at the top of my list is because I have heard a few people talking about them. I suppose this is why I read most of the books that I do-either recommendation, talk around the water cooler, they are on a list for school, and now because they are on a list from an author who I respect and enjoy reading.
Personally, I would add Freakonomics, SuperFreakonomics, Blur, and any books that Malcolm Gladwell or Seth Godin wrote to this list.

This is my first-ever Podcast experience. Andy Vasily, an educational consultant, co-author with me, former colleague, and friend of mine involved me in this. At first, I was leery, nervous even, but Andy made me feel at ease with his questioning and banter.
