The Books That Helped Us Build Our Busin...

Amie McNee and James Winestock
About this episode

This is the non-fiction partner to our favourite fiction books episode!


We talk about reading to develop lateral thinking; changing your underlying assumptions about things; choosing books that will help you see the world in new ways; why we don't get much out of traditional "business" books; why we've been reading more fiction than non-fiction lately; and more!
