Book recommendation exchange!

Dec '24 (edited) • 💭 Off Topic

Hey there coaches,

ever since I implemented the habit of daily reading into my live, I have gotten great value from talking about book recommendations with the people I meet.

So I thought to myself this is a great community of like-minded people, I bet there is a ton of value in exchanging some recommendations. (Also I am not sure what I am going to read next :P)

I would be especially interested in any books that had the most influence on how you all approach coaching. Iam not talking about Xs and Os, but more values, leadership, communication, decisions making and so on.

Let's go groups of three here, so my recommendations would be:

Essentialism - The disciplined pursuit of less and

Effortless - Make it easier to do what matters most

They are both written by Greg Mckeown.

Honestly I see a lot of these values in the systems thought here, so I wouldn't be surprised if these books are well known to many of you.

Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter

This book gave me a lot of perspective on adversity of any kind.

The inner game of tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey

It was one of the first books that had me question they way I was teaching at that time. Great input for anyone having a hard time buying in into a approach of games > drills.
