I’m nearly finished with this one and there are good lessons here. It’s a bit like the Patrick Lencioni “fable with lessons” style.

Two reads this week.
I enjoy working through “Wilson” one every evening. At this point in the narrative, Wilson has been elected Governor of New Jersey and has nearly secured the Democratic Party’s nomination for President of the United States.
I’m continuing through “The Way of the Shepherd” and it’s a fun, narrative way to teach leadership lessons. I realized I’ve read at least two other books by Leman: “Making Children Mind without Losing Yours” and “The Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are.” They’ve all proven practical and approachable.

Continuing to work through this gem. I love deep dives on U.S. Presidents and this biography is easy to read. It flows well.
Wilson is another book in my quest to read at least one biography on every U.S. President.

After finishing Mafia, I picked this one back up. It’s hefty, but despite many more words per page, and much more granular detail than Mafia, this one reads much easier. I’m amazed at how a writer’s skill can make such a difference in drawing the reader in versus repelling them.

I finished this one this week. Worth reading, though some areas require skimming. Too dry and too deep-divish to justify lots of time.
