pickIt‘s evident the author did thorough research on Bridgewater and Dalio. Toxic CEO and Founder, toxic work environment. I have never shook my head at what I was reading so much in my life…people selling their souls and self dignity for the almighty buck.
pickOne of the best non-fiction, personal growth books I have ever read. Told in a story format with very relatable examples. This book has useful information for people at all stages of life.

Just started The Fury, meh so far. Love being back with the Dashwoods in Sense & Sensibility. About half way through Miranda‘s memoir about living with chronic illness. Enjoying it! I loved her character in Call the Midwife and laughed so hard I cried when watching her sitcom. Next up audio will be The Wedding People.
Does a creative library display draw you in and add to your TBR?
Keeping my goal the same as the last couple of years because it‘s achievable. I don‘t want to feel I *have* to read just to hit a goal.

pickRana Foroohar is global business columnist and associate editor at the Financial Times and CNN‘s global economic analyst. Published in 2019 it‘s an absorbing and frightening look at how Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google hoard data and intellectual property to maintain market dominance, influence politics and maintain their value and a prescient warning given how the companies are now jostling to influence the incoming Trump presidency.
pickI received this book as a gag gift ages ago, but I actually didn‘t hate it. Some of it definitely didn‘t age well (her successful partnership with K-Mart, her praise of Diddy and Jared from Subway, and her friendship with a certain someone whose name I refuse to speak or type). And I had to wonder what her staff REALLY thought of her opinion of herself as a leader. But I absolutely would recommend this to someone looking to start a small business.
