The reading life that shapes my management and philosophical thinking. Bilingual, English and Traditional Chinese.
Currently shaping my thinking
- Tiago Forte, Building a Second Brain. The practice behind how I work.
- Donella Meadows, Thinking in Systems. The book I return to when designing institutional architecture.
- Peter Drucker, The Effective Executive. Still the cleanest writing on what managing oneself actually is.
- Ray Dalio, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order. Long-arc framework for reading the moment.
- Daron Acemoglu & James Robinson, Why Nations Fail (國家為什麼會失敗). The inclusive-extractive frame keeps showing up in unexpected places.
- Herminia Ibarra, Working Identity. On vocational change as practice, not insight.
- 詹姆斯·霍利斯, 中年之路 / 覺醒中年. Hollis on the second adulthood. Slow and serious.
- 錢穆, 中國歷代政治得失. A reread, to remember how political institutions actually evolve.
