Tina Fey · Buy on Amazon
"I absolutely loved Tina Fey’s “Bossypants” and didn’t want it to end. It’s hilarious as well as important. Not only did I laugh on every page, but I was nodding along, highlighting and dog-earing like crazy."
Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton · Buy on Amazon
"“Now, Discover Your Strengths,” by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton. This book has been instrumental in how we think about developing talent at Facebook."
Eric Ries · Buy on Amazon
"“The Lean Startup: How Today’s Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses,” by Eric Ries, provides a great inside look at how the tech industry approaches building products and businesses."
Michael Lewis · Buy on Amazon
"Michael Lewis’s ability to boil down the most complicated subjects is like a magic trick. You can’t believe your eyes. He takes on important issues — from the 2008 Wall Street crash in “The Big Short” to parenting in “Home Game” — and breaks them down to their deepest truths."

Anna Quindlen · Buy on Amazon
"Somewhere in that pile of books on my night stand sits a well-worn copy of Anna Quindlen’s “A Short Guide to a Happy Life.” I’ve read it before — and I will read it again — and just knowing it’s at my bedside gives me comfort."
Caroline Weber · Buy on Amazon
"In 2007, she published the brilliant and fun “Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution.” There are few books that I have enjoyed as much."
Fred Kofman · Buy on Amazon
"“Conscious Business: How to Build Value Through Values,” by Fred Kofman, had a profound effect on my career and life. I think about his lessons almost every day — the importance of authentic communication, impeccable commitments, being a player not a victim."
Madeleine L'Engle · Buy on Amazon
"I wanted to be Meg Murry, the admittedly geeky heroine of “A Wrinkle in Time,” by Madeleine L’Engle. I loved how she worked with others to fight against an unjust system and how she fought to save her family against very long odds."
Marlo Thomas · Buy on Amazon
"Choosing one book (and album) for all children to read is easy: Marlo Thomas’s “Free to Be You and Me.” Its messages are — sadly — still relevant today, but its stories are beautifully written."
Shel Silverstein · Buy on Amazon
"I cherish the day my daughter learned to recite “Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too” from Shel Silverstein’s “Where the Sidewalk Ends.” Just thinking about it makes me smile."
J. K. Rowling · 1997 · Buy on Amazon
"I read every Harry Potter book as it came out and looked forward to each new one. I am rereading them now with my kids and enjoying them every bit as much."
