This End of Year Special episode of 5 Minute Book Summaries steps away from the usual neutral format to offer a personal reflection on the business books that made the greatest impact this year.
Rather than rankings or recommendations, this episode explores why certain ideas resonated more deeply — particularly in the context of leadership, confidence, strategy, money, and resilience.
The episode reflects on:
• The Confidence Code and what it taught about confidence in male-dominated environments
• Good Strategy Bad Strategy and the power of clear diagnosis
• The Psychology of Money and the behavioural side of financial decision-making
• Rebel Ideas and the importance of cognitive diversity
• The Hard Thing About Hard Things and the reality of leadership under pressure
This special episode marks the close of the year for 5 Minute Book Summaries, offering reflection without losing the clarity and integrity of the series.
