"It’s hard to know where to begin with Steve Peters. He’s a doctor, a psychiatrist, a professor and a mental coach for the world's top athletes and business leaders. The Chimp Paradox has sold millions of copies worldwide and put forward the groundbreaking ‘Chimp model’ for understanding how our brains work. In The Chimp Paradox he looks at what commonly holds people back, how to overcome it, and how being at peace with yourself is the only way to succeed. This book completely changed my life - from my romantic relationships to my relationship with myself. There’s a reason it’s sold millions of copies worldwide."
"Simon Sinek is an author and public speaker, and one of the most interesting thinkers on business in the world today. Thoughtful and inspiring, Simon shares his knowledge and experience to leave you clearer about what issues are really important in the world today, and how they relate to you. This book was my very first introduction to Simon and since reading it I’ve had him on the podcast three times, because I can’t get enough. Those episodes have become some of the most popular on The Diary Of A CEO. Every time I speak with him I learn something new that tends to completely alter my perspective on something in my life."
"Mustafa Suleyman is the co-founder of DeepMind, a pioneering Google-owned AI company. In The Coming Wave he describes the risks to global order posed by a wave of fast-developing technologies like artificial intelligence and genetic engineering, and establishes 'the containment problem' - the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies - as the essential challenge of our age. An incredible mind to delve into."
"After an accident that resulted in breaking her back when she was 19 years old, Jessie became interested in achieving optimal health and wellbeing. In 2019, Jessie started the @glucosegoddess instagram account, which shared data from her experiments with a continuous glucose monitor. These experiments looked at the impact that various foods had upon her glucose levels and the subsequent effects on her physical and mental health. In The Glucose Goddess Method Jessie shares the hacks that you can use to maintain steady glucose levels and create new habits for life, without counting calories. She completely altered the way I look at sugar, energy and our health - for the better."
