English, Philippa Perry, 2020
4. Penguin Random House What's Your Dream?
The book I recommend if you want to start or grow a business is by Ali Abdaal, productivity expert and bestselling author of "Feel-Good Productivity."
Find your passion. Love your work. Build a more fulfilling life. What is your dream? It’s a simple question, but one that very few of us truly ponder. From a young age, we are taught that there is only one way to get ahead: do well in school, get a specific job, and avoid failure at all costs. We are so busy following these rules that we never stop to ask ourselves: What is my purpose? What do I really want? Do I have the power to make it happen?
Simon Squibb aims to change people's lives for the better. Here, he shares the hard-won life lessons from his years in the business world as well as from his own life, from being homeless as a teenager to selling a multi-million pound business and now inspiring a new generation of aspiring entrepreneurs. Simon will empower readers to identify their own meaningful goals, eliminate the obstacles in their way, and ultimately build a more fulfilling life. Sometimes, it just takes one person to believe in you.

Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr., and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose.

Erikson will help you understand yourself better, hone communication and social skills, handle conflict with confidence, improve dynamics with your boss and team, and get the best out of the people you deal with and manage.
