Bob Sutton Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

I love "Scaling People" @chughesjohnson. It starts: "Sometimes you want to read a book about Picasso's life, and sometimes you just want to know where to buy the cheapest turpentine. Consider this the latter: an insider's guide to management turpentine." https://t.co/AcfiUBWo7x

I love how different countries and cultures capture the ideas in my books. Here is the updated cover for the Thai translation of The Asshole Survival Guide. Thanks to the folks @fletcherco for making this happen. https://t.co/F4av68ezpB

@jwcoetzee @DavidEpstein I get it, but our norms are different, for better or worse. It is also why people who are adept at translating like David, Dan Pink, Susan Cain, and Adam Grant are so important.

@pamela_herd Hmmm. There is some excellent writing and research on administrative burden that you may find interesting. I am trying to remember who did that stuff!

One of many funny, true, and troubling definitions in @jasonzweigwsj's wonderful "Devil's Financial Dictionary." I timeless book that is especially timely right now! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1610396995/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwjasonzweig-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1610396995&linkId=9e42d92383da27baaadd7af3df39c4f0 https://twitter.com/jasonzweigwsj/status/1552355388795797504

I wrote a @washingtonpost review of "Noise" by all-stars @kahneman_daniel, @SibOliv, @CassSunstein (book publishes 5/18). A nuanced masterpiece, shows unwanted variance does at least as much damage as bias. Minor complaint: jarring shifts in writing style https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316451401?tag=bobsutton-20

I love Reed Hastings "No Rules Rules" 2020 Netflix book. But their recent plunge in stock price reminds me of research showing when CEOs become media stars who are distracted by writing books and board seats, their pay goes up and firm's stock price down https://t.co/BOzsqReBWP

“If it weren't for the people, the god-damn people' said Finnerty, 'always getting tangled up in the machinery. If it weren't for them, the world would be an engineer's paradise.” Kurt Vonnegut, Player Piano @SallyHelgesen's bad old boss was singing this tune! https://t.co/cr1WQ4PUpZ
