FPP Library · Book notes
The FPP Library
Leaders are readers. This is where I add the books I’ve found impactful since beginning FPP, and ones you may find impactful as well. If there’s a book you’ve found impactful that I should read, let me know!
My notes on the books and podcasts that shape how I think about leadership, learning and growing a practice, grouped into 9 categories. Each one is a short set of notes on the ideas I took away. Search, browse, and download the PDF of any of them.
I reread two books every January: Man’s Search for Meaning and The War of Art. One reminds me what is important in life, and the other helps me execute on it regardless of circumstance.
