It’s nice once in a while to look over the list of books I’ve read, and to think about which ones were the best. The ones I really enjoyed reading, or the ones that really changed my perception of some field. So, here’s my top ten list of books, in no particular order:
* Neal Stephenson: Cryptonomicon
* Hal Rosenbluth: The customer comes second
* Dee Hock: Birth of the Chaordic Age
* Timothy Gallwey: The inner game of work
* Harrison Owen: Open Space Technology
* Peter Block : The answer to how is yes
* Kevin and Jackie Freiberg: Nuts!
* Paul Watzlawick: Change
* Robert Wright: Non zero
* Harpo Marx: Harpo speaks

Hi Alexander. As I briefly mentioned when we met at CBAF earlier, my absolute favourite in this area would be an Aussie dentist called Paddi Lund. He has written “Building the Happiness-Centered Business”. For obvious reasons it’s quite a challenge for a dentist to base his business on happiness for employees as well as customers. It’s a great read. Highly recommended!!!
