13 books on learning, people, organizations, corporate culture, and change

This morning I conducted a webinar on Making Learning Stick. Funny, isn’t it, that we invest so much to help people learn and so little to help them remember? Lots of what we learn goes down the drain before becoming converted to action.

To encourage participation, I gave away my favorite books for making the most of learning. It’s a biased list. All but three are by friends and colleagues. I like what I know.

This baker’s dozen have influenced my thinking enormously, sometimes by the act of writing them.
