3 Quick Business Reads to Make Your Thanksgiving Travel More Productive

Thanksgiving is next week and we can’t wait. Quality time with family, friends, football, and food. This also means a few days off of work, a week off of school, and some extra time on your hands. A lot of us will travel to visit family and friends and we have a feeling you will be too. So, the Cangrade team thought we’d share three business reads that have been instrumental over the years that you can easily finish over your break.  

We’ve each read these and still find ourselves referencing them frequently.  Audiobooks are a great way to spend a long car ride or flight, and we highly recommend resisting the urge to tap into the airplane’s WiFi during your next flight.  Use your time in the sky as an excuse to take a break from the screen time and dig into one of these business reads.

Made To Stick by Dan & Chip Heath

Why do some ideas survive and others die?  This is an easy business read, full of stories and examples you can use immediately.  Learn to make your point concisely and powerfully by using the below points: 

  • Simplicity
  • Unexpectedness (See what I did there Owen?)
  • Concreteness
  • Credible
  • Emotional
  • Stories

The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle

This is another one of those quick business reads. It’s full of interesting stories that may help you understand why Odell Beckham Jr. catches so many 1 handed Touchdown passes.

Thinking Fast & Slow by Daniel Kahneman

Not a quick business read.  Equally fascinating though and full of stories that bring his ideas to life.

Cheers to a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
