What RamP's Reading: Jul'19


Trillion Dollar Coach: Bill Campbell was a behind-the-scene, publicity shy but an uber coach who played an instrumental role in the growth of several prominent companies, such as Google, Apple, and Intuit, fostering deep relationships with Silicon Valley visionaries, including Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt. In addition, this business genius mentored dozens of other important leaders on both coasts, from entrepreneurs to venture capitalists to educators to football players. This book co-authored by Eric Schmidt, tries to capture the insights of Bill (Thanks to Ajay Gupta for recommending this book)

How to Fail..: In an informal chat, Prabhat Pal brought to my notice the concept of creating  a "System" as opposed to having Goals. Think of System as a set of habits when followed will take you to your goals (and beyond). Lately, I seem to have moved out from goals and have been following a pattern of daily routines, that seems like a system. In this book, Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) brilliantly explain the topic and many other things. 

Buck Up....:  Chanced upon a reference to this in one of Tim Ferris's blog.
