A few books just delivered that we haven’t read yet but are excited about;

Ken Robinson The element : how finding your passion changes everything (Robinson gave one of my favourite 3 outstanding TED presentations ever, so we’ve been waiting to read thisĀ  book for a while)

Malcolm Gladwell Outliers (actually, I didn’t like Blink – but this is one of those must-reads, so we’ll do it)

Dan Ariely Predictably irrational (I keep hearing Ariely on BBC World Service and he makes a lot of sense, so I’m interested in this book, which was recommended by Amazon after selecting Outliers)

I deliberately haven’t included any links to these books. Please use your favourite retailer on or offline.
