Here are a few books I recommend: DESTINY OF THE REPUBLIC: A TALE OF MADNESS, MEDICINE AND THE MURDER OF A PRESIDENT by Candice Millard
DEEP WORK: RULES FOR FOCUSED SUCCESS IN A DISTRACTED WORLD by Cal Newport As our lives become increasingly electronic, we find ourselves more and more addicted to mobile telephones and electronic mail. As a result, productivity plummets. This is not a good thing. It was a good time for all of us at the firm to read Cal Newport’s
I had read absolutely nothing about President James Garfield before I picked up this book. Candice Millard’s research reveals the fascinating rise of Ohio native James Garfield from poverty scholar to professor, Civil
War general, congressman, and finally reluctant presidential candidate. Although he was assassinated within 100 days of his inauguration, this story is an intriguing one. I especially enjoyed how President Garfield’s life entwined with the brilliant Alexander Graham Bell and his mission to develop a metal detector to find the bullet lodged in President Garfield’s body. Highly recommended.
Deep Work. Mr. Newport takes the distraction environment head on and provides specific methods to avoid outside distraction and to make us more productive. His thesis is that cultivating a “deep work” ethic produces huge benefits and a more fulfilling life. Newport then gives the reader strategies to adopt productive habits to support a practice of “deep work.” Thank you to my friend and avid reader Ben Glass from Fairfax, Virginia, for referring this book to me. Highly recommended.
