My reading list – February 2022

So far, only one book on the list, which is probably just as well, as I haven’t finished my January list.

The February book is perhaps an apt choice: Life Admin: How I learned to Do Less, Do Better, and Live More, by Elizabeth Emens. I think it’s fair to say that ’life admin’ is a big part of the reason I haven’t finished my January books. Curious to see how Emens has dealt with this issue. A few pages in, and I can identify with much that she says.

January reading – something new

As fully predicted, I’ve veered away from my reading list for the month. I’m now reading Bob Iger’s The Ride of a Lifetime. It’s a great book – interspersing his life story with lessons in business and management. I’m only around a tenth of the way in, and it’s eminently readable. Looking forward to the rest of it.
