Summer reading, 2011

Thanks to the post Summer Reading, 2011 of Seth Godin, I’ve found a very good list of Summer Reading, 2011 : I’m glad to see that most of them are already on my Kindle.

Here is some suggestions from PierG, some old and new books you may want to try this summer:

The Goal – E.Goldratt: a must read also to remember his recent death. If you have not read it, do it now!
Reality is broken – J.McGonigal: the last part of the title says it all “Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World”. Read it especially if you are NOT a gamer (I am not)
Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? – S.Godin: are you tired of your work, do you want to ‘interpret’ your working experience in a different way? Give it a try!
The happiness manifesto – N.Marks: not much more to write, the title says it all
My voice will go with you – M.Erickson: here again the title says it all “the teaching tales of M.Erickson” (M.Erickson is the father of Ericksonian hypnosis)
Extreme Programming Explained – K.Beck, C.Andres: if you are in the sw development space you should read it AT LEAST once every year
