Many business people are big readers but they seldom read business books. Read as widely as you can. You never know when you come across something that will spark a good idea.

An Unsung Hero by Michael Smith is a terrific book about Irish polar explorer Tom Crean. His life was incredible.

Didn't change my life but 1421 (the year China discovered the world) is a cracker read. Still think about it and how history gets written by the winners.
