#118 Soul Mining by Daniel Lanois
"Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, U2, Peter Gabriel, and the Neville Brothers all have something in common: some of their best albums were produced by Daniel Lanois. Part technological treatise, part philosophical manifesto on the nature of artistic excellence and the overwhelming need for music, Soul Mining brings the reader viscerally inside the recording studio, where the surrounding forces have always been just as important as the resulting albums."

#112 The End of Average by Todd Rose
The author states there is no such thing as average when measuring individuals' abilities, talents, and potential. The army took 10 measurements of their pilots, got the average of each measurement but then 0/4000 pilots were average across the board. When you build for average, you build for no one.

#111 Demand Side Sales by Bob Moesta
The authors introduce a paradigm shift in how sales are approached, emphasizing the importance of understanding customer's needs and helping them make progress, rather than pushing products. Understand your product's job to be done, where the customer struggles, how they buy rather than how you want to sell, where on the timeline you are, and you'll find yourself helping people rather than selling things. The struggle creates demand and your product/service solves the struggle.
