“Blink is another one that I only read because I liked Malcolm Gladwell, but Blink for people in high-paced professions, Blink is one that helps you really evaluate how you make decisions, how you rely on your instinct and your experience and how much that matters.”

Why: It helps evaluate how you make decisions and rely on instinct and experience.

Guest on The Tim Ferriss Show#862: Cathy Lanier, Chief Security Officer of the NFL — From 9th-Grade Dropout to DC's Longest-Serving Police Chief, Protecting the Super Bowl, and Resilience Under Extreme Pressure

“I'd say my favorite book of all times, and I made it mandatory reading for my command staff when I thought there was the chief, which was a hoot because nobody had ever made our command staff read anything before. And I also did a book club. I also used this book and did a book club with the community, The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell.”

Why: It forces you to understand that no matter what your challenge and whatever your problem is, there is a tipping point.
