The bookshelf
These are the books I find myself recommending to clients, quoting in talks and pressing on anyone who asks what to read next. Every link goes to my shop on Bookshop.org, which supports independent bookshops.

See the listThe Dark Triad
Narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy, and the people who cause the most damage at work.
See the listResilience
Why real resilience is about recovery, not just gritting your teeth and carrying on.
See the listLeadership Classics
Generals, emperors and courtiers who worked out how power and people behave long before LinkedIn.

Nothing to do with work, at least not directly, but books that changed how I see the world.
