Books that have shaped how I think about creativity, human behavior, identity, and what it means to build something that matters. These selections offer frameworks, stories, and ideas that make sense when you’re trying to understand yourself and your work more deeply in the context of the larger world we live in. These are the books that I return to, recommend to clients, colleagues, and friends, and that have shaped my thinking and my practice. I am also always learning, and therefore always adjusting my view of the world. This list is not exhaustive, and will change over time.
