“Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe
and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and
consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to
be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts,
others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with
diligence and attention.” …Francis Bacon
Below is my reading list of Books that fall in my “Chew and
Digest” category:
1)
The Toyota Way …Jeffrey K. Liker:
A great book on the guiding
principles on which Toyota was built.
2)
The Professional….Subroto Bagchi
A book that talks about the
aspects that distinguish an Amateur & Professional. I would prescribe that this book be delivered
as a Course in all Undergraduate schools & in Corporate trainings.
3)
“Surely you are joking Mr.Feynman” … Richard
Feynman
Feynman was a celebrated American
Physicist. This fun-filled yet insightful book shows a glimpse of the Monster
mind of this Scientist, covering areas such as Mental maths,Playing drums in
Brazil,Physics professor presenting paper on Biology at Harvard..
4)
“Getting Things Done” … David Allen
If you are put down by your inability
to manage your time and priorities this is the book to read.
