Has anyone read anything good lately? Personal, professional or otherwise? 

For those who are always on a hunt for a good book recommendation, see what books other members enjoy, have as favorites or have read recently.

    When I first took over IT for our company, I was recommended the book "The Phoenix Project". It was a good read with real world scenarios in a fictional format. Currently, as part of a work group, I'm reading Learning Leadership by Kouzes & Posner.

    Those are very good suggestions Cody. The Phoenix Project seems especially relevant to anyone in IT and it sounds like you got some good stuff out of it. Thank you!

    I've lately been getting into Enneagram material. I find that the many different books and resources on it are a really helpful tool to life and self-awareness.

    Yes, the Phoenix Project is a good read especially if you're doing Agile/DevOps development work.  If your company is in the manufacturing industry, I'd highly recommend The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt.  I'ts a very similar read, tailored to manufacturing, and introduces the Theory of Constraints. However, it's tenets can be applied to any industry.

    I recently finished How to Study Your Bible by Kay Arthur.  It's a fairly quick read that explains a process for studying the Bible, called inductive study.  Inductive study doesn't tell you what the Bible means or what you should believe.  Instead, it teaches you a method for studying the Bible.

    We are currently trying to focus more on IT, thanks for the recommendation.  I will look into The Phoenix Project.

    Let Love Serve by Steve Wilkinson! Not tech-related but a good book reflecting on life!
