Nonfiction reading

Starting November 2013, I've been reading more books from the business, management, leadership, and creativity sections of the book store. By a wild coincidence, I took on more leadership-ish things at work around then. These are ones I've finished so far:

Jurgen Appelo "Management 3.0"
Laurie Helgoe "Introvert Power"
Sheryl Sandberg "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead"
Robert Sutton "The No Asshole Rule"
Robert Sutton "Good Boss, Bad Boss"
Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons "The Invisible Gorilla"
Steven Pressfield "The War of Art"
George J Thompson and Jerry B Jenkins "Verbal Judo: the gentle art of persuasion"
Jim Collins "Good to Great"
Sunni Brown "The Doodle Revolution"
Patrick Lencioni "The Advantage"

Currently in progress are "Emotional Intelligence 2.0" by Travis Bradberry, Jean Greaves, and Patrick M. Lencioni, and "The Speed of Trust" by Stephen M. R. Covey. Next up are "The Art Of War For Women" by Chin-Ning Chu and "Scaling Up Excellence" by Robert Sutton and Huggy Rao. Some are recommendations, some are my own finds. Most have been useful, some more than others. I didn't like "Lean In" one bit.

I'm trying to alternate business books with fiction. Too much nonfiction makes me cranky, the last time I surfaced from a nonfiction binge I tore through a bunch of Dresden Files books and didn't touch nonfiction for a while. Having ten years of book reading history is fascinating.
