The say a typical CEO reads about 60 books per year. That is roughly around one book a week. I try to keep up with that pace, but sometimes I fall short. I tend to read one book every 2 weeks, and this covers different categories including self-help, autobio,business, cyber security among many other categories. What I would advise to new entrants to cyber security, to make sure to read different business books to complement your technical knowledge, because if you cannot translate your security knowledge to help the business, then it becomes useless.
So for the this year, I have been reading the following books:
Non-Security Books
- The Effective Executive
- Fast Focus – Damon Zahariades
- 80/20 Your Life – Damon Zahariades
- Tools of Titans – Timothy Ferris
- 5 AM Club – Robin Sharma
- The Art of Learning – Josh Waitzkin
- Tribe of Mentors – Timothy Ferriss
- Power – Jeffrey Pfeffer
- The 4-hour Work Week (Audiobook) – Tim Ferriss
- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – Stephen R. Covey
- What Got You Here Won’t Get You There – Marshall Goldsmith
Security Books:
- Certified Cloud Security Profession – CCSP
- CCSK
to be continued
