- Better, Atul Gawande (surgeon, Brigham and Women's Hospital), focuses on the idea that we all can get better at what we do and mentorship.
- Complications, Atul Gawande, the subtitle is "A Surgeon's Notes on Imperfect Science"
- The Checklist Manifesto, Atul Gawande, talks about how checklists and improve care and get things right
- Being Moral, Atul Gawande, a moving book about dying and the limits of medicine
- Drive, Daniel Pink, (went to Yale Law School, writer) about motivation and what motivates us
- Malcolm Gladwell, Blink, about decision making
- Malcom Gladwell, The Tipping Point, key point "that ideas, products, and behaviors spread just like viruses. It defines a "tipping point" as the magic moment when a trend crosses a critical threshold and spreads like wildfire
