Hi all 

I am in a standalone HR role for a challenging industry and sometimes require a bit of mentor/pick me up when times are a bit overwhelming. 

As well as trying to reduce the time I spend watching repeats of my favorite shows on Netflix I figured I could do something a bit more productive by reading and broadening my knowledge. Bonus points if they are "a day in the life of" or humorous! 

I am particularly interested in the following subjects and would welcome any book recommendations: 

- How to say no

- How to deal with difficult managers (VERY traditional/bullies) 

- Psychology within HR 

- HR case studies 

Thank you

  • I'm not sure they 100% meet your brief, but I'll chuck in a couple that are not business-specific but which you might find interesting:

    'The Art of Asking' - Amanda Palmer
    'Thinking Fast and Slow' - Daniel Kahnemann
    'Start With Why' - Simon Sinek
    'Daring Greatly' - Brene Brown

    There are also hundreds of TED talks that are worth listening to, and reading EAT case reports (and ET reports come to that) is a helpful way of reviewing areas of law and the way they are applied.

    I'm sure others will have more helpful suggestions!

    Thanks,

    Nina
