We're surrounded by more business advice than we could ever possibly consume. Books, podcasts, courses, conferences, videos, newsletters, and now AI can give us an almost endless supply of information. But how much of it actually changes the way we think, work, or make decisions?
After spending four hours putting my books back on the shelves in my newly decorated office, I started thinking about the books that have genuinely influenced me over the years, and why I can remember a single sentence from something I read a decade ago but barely recall what I learned at my last business conference.
In this episode of Messy Business, I'm exploring the difference between collecting information, developing understanding, and building the judgement to know what to do with it.
I share five books that have made a lasting impression on me, including *Delivering Happiness* by Tony Hsieh, *Work Like a Woman* by Mary Portas, and *Die with Zero* by Bill Perkins. I also question whether our constant appetite for more advice is actually helping us make better decisions.
Knowing more isn't necessarily the same as understanding more. And sometimes the most useful thing we can do is stop looking for another answer and think more carefully about what we already know.
