3 COLLECTIONS · 9 BOOKS EACH

WTM Press Editor Pick

Nine impactful books selected by WTM for the power of Strategic Imagination. An editorial selection, not an objective all-time ranking. The Orwell combined volume counts as one selection.

The nine selections

  1. Altruism — Matthieu Ricard

    Care belongs inside the design of a system, not only in the intentions of its participants.

  2. 1984 & Animal Farm — George Orwell

    Power can redesign language and memory until an alternative becomes difficult to imagine.

  3. This Is Your Mind on Plants — Michael Pollan

    Culture helps decide which altered states seem ordinary and which seem unacceptable.

  4. Start with Why — Simon Sinek

    A purpose becomes strategic when it changes what an organisation chooses to do.

  5. The Art of Impossible — Steven Kotler

    An ambitious possibility becomes useful when it is translated into practice and feedback.

  6. Life 3.0 — Max Tegmark

    Technical capability raises questions about goals, control and the distribution of power.

  7. Emotional Intelligence 2.0 — Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves

    A team’s future depends partly on how people notice emotion and respond to one another.

  8. Behave — Robert M. Sapolsky

    Behaviour needs explanation across time and context, not a single convenient cause.

  9. The Four Agreements — Don Miguel Ruiz

    Changing an unexamined assumption can change the range of choices a person sees.
