First I'm hooked on The Expanse series. I finished three books in the series in Jan and I'm nearly done with another one that I'll finish in the next few days. It'll be a sad day when I'm all caught up. But I'll watch the TV series at that point.

Otherwise: I may have finally found my perfect marriage between two of my favorite things: better systems and fewer rules. Decisive is a book about building decision systems because our instincts, our confidence, and even our memory can’t be trusted as much as we think they can. No Rules Rules is a book about stripping away control systems (rules, policies, and fear) so great people can move fast, take smart risks, and do great work without being punished for the mistakes of a few.

Together they hit the same nerve for me: if you want better outcomes, stop relying on intuition alone, be intentional and start relying on the right systems. And if you want great people to do great work, stop building rules for the 3% and start building trust for the 97%.
