If you love adventure, the great outdoors, and leadership, pick up On The Edge.

Cape, Spandex, Briefcase is similar to Reel Leadership in the sense that David finds leadership lessons through the adventures of superheroes. I discovered Cape, Spandex, Briefcaseas I was interviewing leaders for my book, Reel Leadership.

What if happiness was our natural state and we've lost that? This is the premise behind John's book The Five Thieves Of Happiness.

John explores five different things that will steal our happiness. It's an insightful book.

5. Tribes by Seth Godin:

Do you want to build a bigger following? Not for your own good but because you know it is better?

Tribes is for you. Seth helps us understand the way to rally employees, friends, and others around a common idea.
