Aki Hintsa - The Core

A versatile, result improving wellbeing guide in a busy achiever’s life, based in science, by one of the greatest sports doctors in history. Aki was the team doctor for McLaren and worked directly with Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikonen and other great names in sports. Having been born in Finland, Aki had worked as a surgeon in Ethiopia, but after an active career in the sports field, opened a clinic in Switzerland to consult C-level executives on their wellbeing and its impact on business results.

Barack Obama - A Promised Land

Nothing much about business or innovation, except for the whole story being a startup-alike story of the Chicago-based politics unicorn. The author, the former U.S. president, reveals behind the curtain stories on dealing with corporations during the economic crisis, negotiating with the world’s most impactful political stakeholders, and living a fast life with too many hats to wear at the same time.

Hans Rosling - Factfulness

Why the earth is not flat, or what actually happens in the world, is everything that bad, and is there good progress being made to make the world a better place. In the time of disinformation and the media chasing clicks instead of informing us, this book is a masterpiece of fact-based critical thinking.

Will Smith - Will

The book, co-written by the author of “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck”, Mark Manson, tells a story of a guy with too many psychological problems, one of those we might have never heard of if not for his stubborn striving for his dreams and ability to develop and lead great teams and network to help him on his path.

Jim Collins - From Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t

Jim Collins, a researcher, gives readers another fact-based book on what determines a great company that would last a lifetime. While not an entertaining read, it is an easy-to-perceive book with lots of comparisons and useful data.

Arnold Schwarzenegger - Be Useful

Not your complex, research backed and sophisticated language crowded book. Rather a reminiscent story that made me read it in a few nights, excited and touched by the strong man’s big and brave heart. Not really a “How I made it” book, rather a story revealing all the struggle, pivots, and persistence one can do to make dreams reality.

“If you lack time, sleep faster” as Arnold suggests half-jokingly.

Cal Newport - Slow Productivity

In the era of burnout, being always online for work-related communication, and pushing limits of mental productivity for the sake of efficiency, this book comes if not as a wake-up call, then an invitation to consider when humans are the most productive, when we have to ship a creative or other mental work.

Packed with case-studies looking back at historical achievements and admirable personalities, this book want to help us give ourselves time.

No matter whether you are a fan of the U.S. or not, or you live there, don’t be confused about the name of the podcast.

I’m not sure how it will reflect on a female listener, but I would not restrict the audience, anyways.

Face-to-face meetings

I enjoyed and used the opportunity to get to CEOs, Presidents and SVPs of corporations during the pandemic in a much easier way, but it was only then that the real work started.

Here is an evidence and research based story on this topic, by the Washington Post
