I recently read The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and was surprised at how familiar the topics felt. Many of the other great books I've read in recent years are deep dives on individual habits, as detailed below. Do you have any suggestions of your own?
1: Be Proactive

Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl (cited in book)

The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership by Jim Dethmer and Diana Chapman (esp. commitment #1: Responsibility)

Lead Yourself First by Kethledge/Erwin

Leadership & Self Deception by Arbinger Institute
2: Begin with the End in Mind

Measure What Matters by John Doerr

Principles: Life and Work by Ray Dalio

Mindset by Carol Dweck
3: Put First Things First

Getting Things Done by David Allen

(before reading the book, I thought it would be 100% about productivity methodologies like this)
4: Think Win-Win

Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss

Getting to Yes by Roger Fisher and William L. Ury

The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman ("Emotional bank account" = "love tank")
5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood

Non-violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
6: Synergize

Multipliers by Liz Wiseman
7: Sharpen the Saw; Growth

Peak Performance by Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness

Also similar to my most popular medium post: If You Want to Work Hard, Live Well medium.com/building-asana…
The story in the beginning about the man entering the train w/ unruly children is also very similar to the Alan Wallace story about running into a man with groceries jackkornfield.com/why-we-suffer/

30 minutes late but it’s time for #FemmeTalk ✨✨✨✨
We’re giving all the keys when it comes to job searching for a job/career you’ll love and a few tips to land that position ✨ tune in now!
Job searching for you should be more than just finding something to make ends meet. While some may think that this option is a luxury, it’s actually a mindset and serves as a basis that will follow you into your position if you’re not truly happy with what you’re doing.
A valuable tip we’ve learned from reading Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People is to "begin with the end in mind". This means to basically move in your ideal or your legacy. For example, if you want your own business in retail

My top book recommendations for data scientists to read as part of their personal development.

(A thread built from link.medium.com/MXM1owRj0X) 1/
In the Data Science Venn diagram a data scientist exists at the convergence of skills in mathematics & statistics, hacking and domain expertise¹. But alongside this is the importance of soft skills in data science roles².

To be effective a data scientist should possess strong communication skills; be able to negotiate & persuade stakeholders; to lead projects & teams to success, in a range of commercial or industrial environments. This motivated me to compile this list of book recommendations. 3/

Impressive look into the art of innovation
3. Blue Ocean Strategy - Renée and Chan
One of the best reads of 2018
I went on recommending it throughout the year.

A compelling view of how to carve for your organization a strategy that wins long enough. Sequel to it Blue Ocean Shift (not read yet) @BlueOceanStrtgy

1. Inside First

While it's okay to make SHORT-TERM sacrifices in health to get ahead when you're young,

Make your health your priority.

It affects LITERALLY EVERY other aspect of your life.

In everything that you do, YOU are the common denominator.

So treat yourself well
1a. Sleep

You hear about it so often because it REALLY is that important.

Enough sleep reduces/prevents virtually every illness, more energy, less weight, stable mood, etc.

Not enough is the opposite.

Next will be some ways to improve sleep:

A thread of books I’m reading this year.
The Entitlement Cure by @drjohntownsend is an insightful look at the way we enable people, and facing our own entitlements. A good read offering solutions to leaders, parents, and those trying to work on their own weak spots.

Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World by @AdamMGrant
Interesting look at the social science behind creativity, dispelling some old axioms. Chapters on application of principles make this a how-to manual.
