Update: Here is the completed list — Douglas
One great aspect all of Tom Peter’s Books
is how often he calls out other, very interesting, books. As I am reading The Little Big Things, I am collecting up these books and linking them here.
I have already put several on my library request list. I hope you find them interesting and useful, too.
