#TBRtemptation post! This is a screenshot from a short FB Live video. It's Dr. David Agus' top read of 2016. He was interviewed by the #ReadToLead campaign. Dr. Agus is considered one of the world's leading doctors and biomedical researchers, and he says this book paradigm-shifted his thoughts on life in general. So....added 😊👍🏻! #BestBookRead #blameLitsy #blameMrBook

This was my favorite book that I read in 2016!!! I listened it on #audio, which may have helped me get more out of it. SWB provides incredible insight into civilization's earliest times & provided clarity on the history-repeats-itself adage. Excellent context for understanding macro-historical trends in the present-day. I'd highly recommend it with (#pairwith) any good white wine. What was your favorite read in 2016?! 😁👏🏻👏🏻 #BestBookRead

Here's a pick that came out of left field! #ReadToLead, which asked many world leaders in various fields what their favorite books read in 2016 were, had this 1999 history book take #9 billing. For some reason, this book has a serious resurgence afoot, & has a 4.34 GR average (higher than TKAMB!) with almost 50,000 ratings!!! Well, needless to say, I've added this one to my TBR. It's imperative I know what all the hoopla is about! 🤔 #BestBookRead

The 3rd most-cited influential book in 2016 by the world's most influential minds across industries was this book. I really, really want to read this! Former Joint Chiefs head, he turned the War on Terror around--the WH wasn't exactly doing things right--and crushed Al Qaeda & the Taliban by realizing the the field of war changed. He found other industries changed in the same way too--from hospitals to charities to NASA. #BestBookRead #ReadToLead

Among all the world-wide industry leaders that participated in the international #ReadToLead campaign, the second-most cited book as their favorite read in 2016 was Adam Grant's "Originals". So, of necessity, this is now on TBR and hanging out at the top of it ???. Can't go wrong with what the movers & shakers appreciate! #BestBookRead

According to the #ReadToLead campaign, the #1 most-cited favorite book read in 2016 among all global industry-leading respondents was Yuval Harari's "Sapiens". There you have it.

Marine, Jeff D.: "‘Templar Legacy‘ was the best of the lot. With the essence of a Dan Brown novel, this adventure kept you guessing from start to finish & always one step ahead of the reader. It follows retired American Operative Cotton Malone on an unexpected quest to uncover the Templar secret while fighting the men who swore to protect it, as well as those who are looking to expose it. It was a 'can‘t put it down' type of read." #BestBookRead

Mom, Sarah R.: "Although I rarely find time to read adult books, I always have time to read with my 2 children. Berenstain Bear books were a childhood favorite of mine that now my children enjoy. Our current selection is 'The Berenstain Bears And The Christmas Angel'. This series has books that cover both holidays & life issues kids often deal with. I look forward to continuing to share these stories & lessons with my children." #BestBookRead

Accountant, Luis B.: "If you love to be entertained and you‘re partial to historical events, the 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass' is the kind of book that can inform and tug at your emotional strings. A former slave who willed himself to literacy and freedom, Douglass‘ Narrative is the first of the black salvos in the Civil Rights Movement. Its echo continues." #BestBookRead
