Tsukuru

Tazaki And

His Years Of

Pilgrimage

by Haruki

Murakami

“This is one I go back to. It’s

about going through life

without confronting the

teenage years of loss. The

character discovers almost

too late the importance of

standing up for oneself.”

“I learned so much about

Diane in this book, and

found her so inspiring

throughout. It gives you a

true insight into her life and

what it took to build such a

successful empire.”

“It was written in 2014, but is

still just as relevant today. I

recommend it for both

managers and their direct

reports. It’s full of insight, as

well as actionable takeaways

that may help in navigating

the different generations in

your modern company.”

Selfie

by Will Storr

“I like a holiday book I can

read, then show off about.

Selfie is that book. If you’ve

ever wondered how we got

to a place where a reality

star is the President of the

US and people stalk our

streets with selfie sticks, this

explains it all. And yes, it is

written by my husband.” n

“It satirises Victorian society

in a way that feels relevant

today. Its anti-heroine scales

the social heights armed

with nothing but wit and

manipulation. Today, it

seems so much can be

achieved with very little

but a desire to be rich

and famous.”
