What Do the Professionals Read? Top CEO’s Share Their Favorite Reads

The CEO BookselfYou have more in common with those at the top than you think you do.  When the top dogs aren’t out making money, running countries and setting the financial world on fire… they read. Some read books that help them become better at what they do.  Others read books written by people in their field– keeping an eye on the competition, so to speak.  Some surprise us and reach for childhood favorites…Moby Dick, A Wrinkle in Time, The Catcher in the Rye.  And sometimes, even the people at the top just want to read something for fun. Who do CEOs read and how could you be like them?

This is a visual reading list that shows us just what some of the most admired people on the planet do when they have some time to themselves.  Created by Domo and CEO.com, you’ll find recommended reads from Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Steve Jobs (Apple), Warren Buffet (Money…and more money…), Ken Powell (General Mills) and many more.

Station Eleven: A novel

Coming in at number 10 on our short list, this Amazon Best Book of the Month from September opens with a Russian airliner landing in middle America…and unleashing hell on earth.  The passengers are carrying a virus whose explosion into the population of the planet wipes out the world as we know it.  Pockets of survivors roam the wasteland that is left or cluster in little pockets…some are welcoming, some are not.  The novel takes a turn from the typical apocalyptic offering with it’s ode to what has survived…music, and a traveling Shakespeare troup, whose members form an unlikely family.  Tragically beautiful and heartrending, this is a must read for avid readers of all genres.

Top Kindle Biographies and Memoirs: Voices from the Past.

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours”
― Alan Bennett, The History Boys: The Film

There is something comforting in looking back to the past…knowing that there is nothing new under the sun.  Whatever your life holds right now, there is someone who has been there before you, and written it down for posterity.  Whether that someone lived 20 years ago, 500 years ago or is still with us today, they have something to say to future generations.

Amazon’s Best Kindle Biographies and Memoirs section is the perfect place to find the voices from the past.  With biographies of people from all walks of life, and memoirs from the good, the bad and the hilariously inappropriate, you are certain to find something that will let you curl up and escape, even just for a little while.  Here are some of our favorites, in no particular order:

Yes Please

Amy Poehler is, in a word…hilarious.  She’s the “girl-next-door” that makes us all roar with laughter–and feel like we could sit down and have cookies and coffee with her.  “Yes Please” is her first book, a look at life, love and words to live by that will make you laugh, cry and think All The Thoughts before you’re finished.
