O&G Summer Reading List

At O&G we have a book club where each month we share a list of books that every member should read to not only enhance our work environment but also for the sake of cultivating our own minds.  ​
1-ReWork, by D. Hansson and J. Fried
This short and sweet book written by the team at 37 signals helped us reshape and simplify many internal processes at our firm.

2-Turn the Ship Around, by David Marquet ​

Written by a general assigned to command the lowest ranking sub in the US Navy. In his story of how he turned it into the highest performing submarine, we came out of this book with tens of lessons to use at work.

3- The Art of Gathering, by Priya Parker

The first manifesto we’ve seen for anyone who has the temerity (and generosity) to organize the time and energy of a team in order to call a meeting.

4- Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe

This fictional classic dives deep into Africa’s cataclysmic encounter with Europe as it established colonial presence in the continent. ​

5- Why We Sleep, by Matthew Walker

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. But an explosion of scientific discoveries in the last twenty years has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of our lives. This book explains why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep.
