I've already reviewed The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo.
I'm in the middle of reading The Startup of You by Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha, and once I finish it, I plan to review it here.
I'm halfway through Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, so it might get a review, too.
I read some of Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard a few years back, and I really need to pick it up and finish it.
Books I plan to read and review:
- The God Who Weeps by Terryl and Fiona Givens - I heard an interview with Fiona Givens last year, and I was so impressed with her that I knew I had to read her book.
- Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg - This book seems to be a must-read for any woman with a professional career, and I really should have read it a long time ago.
So far, the list is heavy on business and social science with a dash of theology thrown in for good measure. What's missing are the books about physical science and psychology. Any recommendations?

Hmm...the books that I read are also pretty heavy on social science. My favorite semi-recent science book was The Disappearing Spoon (chemistry), and as far as psychology goes, I would recommend Thinking, Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman. It's very long, but a good read.
"Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande
"Full Catastrophe Living" by John Kabat Zinn
"How will you measure your life" Clayton Christensen
"Linchpin" Seth godin
"The Gift of Fear" Gavin de Becker
"The 7 principles for making marriage work" by John gottman (relevant to all relationships, really)
"The power of habit" Charles duhigg
