MY TOP 10 SUGGESTIONS FROM 2019:

“Bad Blood: secrets and lies in a Silicon Valley start-up”

by John Carreyrou. Superb reporting on the rise and fall of Theranos, the multibillion dollar biotech start-up. It’s all there: lies, corporate greed, egomania. Absolutely riveting! Winner of the Mckinsey’s business book of the year award.

“Never Split the Difference: negotiating as if your life depended on it”

by Chris Voss. This is a book one does not want anybody else to read!!! The tools are so powerful. A top FBI negotiator shares all his proven tools to get the deal you want.

“Black Edge: inside information, dirty money, and the quest to bring down the most wanted man on Wall Street”

by Sheelah Kolhatkar. It reads like a thriller, except that it is all true.
