有閱讀障礙(Dyslexia)的Jamie Oliver對閱讀容易失去興趣,38歲讀到《飢餓遊戲:星火燎原》The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,第一次把一本書讀完。啟發這些CEO的書,會不會也啟發你?

Arianna Huffington -President and Editor-in-Chief, The Huffington Post
閱讀書單:FOCUS

“I love how FOCUS is a sustained look at our addiction to screens and devices and the countless external distractions that threaten to take us further from ourselves and the people we love. His lesson--that “full attention is a form of love”-is something we can all learn from and take to heart.” -Arianna Huffington

哈芬頓郵報主編Huffington說對螢幕與電子裝置成癮,使我們忽略周遭愛的人,FOCUS提醒我們專注也是一種愛。

閱讀書單:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

“Musk, by the way, names Douglas Adams as one of the great modern philosophers. Adams wrote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books.” -NPR

太空探索科技公司執行長Musk,喜歡的書是The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy《銀河便車指南》,不僅陪伴他長大,也讓他試圖去了解自己在這宇宙的位置。

Musk的閱讀習慣--只要對某件事感興趣,Musk就會讀相關的書、並盡可能找出所有資訊,如果一般公認的知識、道理對他來說不合理,會毅然捨棄。

亞馬遜網路商店執行長Bezos曾告訴Newsweek,The Remains of the Day可以讓你跳脫自我,彷彿過一段情感壓抑生活,從中認識現實人生與後悔。

Mark Zuckerberg - CEO, Facebook
閱讀書單:The Aeneid

“I just added it because I liked it. I don’t think there’s any real significance to the fact that it’s listed there and other books aren’t. But there are definitely books—like The Aeneid—that I enjoyed reading a lot more.” -Mark Zuckerberg

臉書執行長Zuckerberg很喜歡The Aeneid (羅馬帝國史記),有一次開產品會議,他還引述The Aeneid的幾段話。
註:Zuckerberg的閱讀偏好--Zuckerberg身邊的親朋好友都知道他愛讀經典文學,除了The Aeneid,他也愛讀希臘神話如The Odyssey。
