2011 reading list

published on

Alex Hayes asked for a list of what I'm reading. I have to say it has not been a big reading year for me but here's a couple I can certainly recommend:

Cognitive Surplus - Clay Shirky

The Element - Ken Robinson

I have, however, a rather large pile awaiting my 2011 change of direction.

So here's my as yet unread bookshelf of non-fiction (somewhat work related) :

The future of ideas - Lawrence Lessig

The wealth of networks - Yochai Benkler

Leadership for the disillusioned - Amanda Sinclair

The new influencers - Paul Gillin

Made to stick - Chip Heath & Dan Heath

What do you do for a living? - Stephen Johnston

What is your dangerous idea? - J Brockman (ed)

What makes us tick? - Hugh Mackay

What's mine is yours - R Botsman & R Rogers

Multipliers - Liz Wiseman

Drive - Daniel Pink

Socialnomics - Eric Qualman

The power of pull -  J Hagel et al

Digital Habitats - Etienne Wenger et al

The brain that changes itself - Norman Doidge

What I find interesting is the underpinning themes and how they differ to Alex's list over here.

Same field; different directions
