Welcome to 2023 and to 'season two' of Steph's Business Bookshelf. ICYMI, this year I'm experimenting with a slightly different style of episode, featuring reviews of what I read over the last month. There'll still be occasional 'three big idea' episodes popping up throughout the year, and the four years and 197 other book based episodes will still be in the back catalogue to be enjoyed. 

January is always a more book-heavy month, and this one was no exception. This month I'm talking about...
And Away by Bob Mortimer (audiobook) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Pocket Full of Do by Chris Do ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Taste by Stanley Tucci (audiobook) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
How the Future Works by Helen Kupp, Sheela Subramanian, and Brian Elliott ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
$100m Offers by Alex Hormozi ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'd love to hear what you think of these new episodes, and what you're reading at the moment. Drop me a message and say hi on...

About Michael

I’ve written books that have sold about a million copies all told, including The Coaching Habit, a self-published book that’s become the best-selling book on coaching this century. I founded a training and development company, Box of Crayons, that has taught coaching skills to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. I love that it’s a human-centered place to work, and that it practices what it preaches.

But wait! There’s more! I’ve been happily married for 30 years or so; I was a Rhodes Scholar; I’ve created a book in partnership with Seth Godin that raised $400,000 for Malaria No More; I’ve been named #1 Thought Leader in Coaching and a Coaching Guru; I’ve launched several podcasts; I’ve spoken live and virtually to crowds of thousands…

How to Work With (Almost) Anyone by Michael Bungay Stanier

It's April, and it's been a funny month of starting books, not finishing books, and desperately trying to squeeze books in so that I did finish them. So here we are; two books read, two books retired, and two books in progress.

This month I'm talking about...

Books I read
📚 Before and Laughter by Jimmy Carr (audiobook) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
📚 How to Work With (Almost) Anyone by Michael Bungay Stanier (pre-release)

Books I didn't finish
📚 Superforecasting by Philip Tetlock (DNF)
📚 The Persuaders by Anand Giridharadas (DNF, TBC)

Books I'm still in the middle of reading
📚 Future Normal by Henry Coutinho-Mason and Rohit Bhargava (WIP)
📚 Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (WIP)
