Welcome to Litsy!

#TBRtemptation post! This is a screenshot from a short FB Live video. It's Dr. David Agus' top read of 2016. He was interviewed by the #ReadToLead campaign. Dr. Agus is considered one of the world's leading doctors and biomedical researchers, and he says this book paradigm-shifted his thoughts on life in general. So....added 😊👍🏻! #BestBookRead #blameLitsy #blameMrBook

Here's a pick that came out of left field! #ReadToLead, which asked many world leaders in various fields what their favorite books read in 2016 were, had this 1999 history book take #9 billing. For some reason, this book has a serious resurgence afoot, & has a 4.34 GR average (higher than TKAMB!) with almost 50,000 ratings!!! Well, needless to say, I've added this one to my TBR. It's imperative I know what all the hoopla is about! 🤔 #BestBookRead

The 3rd most-cited influential book in 2016 by the world's most influential minds across industries was this book. I really, really want to read this! Former Joint Chiefs head, he turned the War on Terror around--the WH wasn't exactly doing things right--and crushed Al Qaeda & the Taliban by realizing the the field of war changed. He found other industries changed in the same way too--from hospitals to charities to NASA. #BestBookRead #ReadToLead

Among all the world-wide industry leaders that participated in the international #ReadToLead campaign, the second-most cited book as their favorite read in 2016 was Adam Grant's "Originals". So, of necessity, this is now on TBR and hanging out at the top of it ???. Can't go wrong with what the movers & shakers appreciate! #BestBookRead

According to the #ReadToLead campaign, the #1 most-cited favorite book read in 2016 among all global industry-leading respondents was Yuval Harari's "Sapiens". There you have it. If you want to know what many of our most top-rated minds are sponging on, start with this selection! #BestBookRead #ReadToLead
