Managementboek.nl, a Dutch online book seller for management books that sends me books to review, asked if I could make a list of favourite books. It was much harder than I thought. I actually want to make two lists: one of books that I often go back to and another with knowledge management (related) books. Here is list number 1, the books that are most useful to me. It's not a 2021 reading list, as most of the books are much older and I only read one of them this year.
Even though I read a lot of books, there are not many books that I keep on my bookshelf (due to lack of space) and even fewer books that stay with me. Those are the books I keep going back to, even if sometimes just in my mind. The books that I have been able to get something out of, that I can relate to. It doesn't even have to be a method, but it can just be a realization, a thought that lingers and helps me every now and then. It probably won't surprise you if many of those books are in the psychology, time management, and self-help category. What did surprise me though, is that all these books are English (no Dutch authors).
