I just finished an audiobook that is full of wisdom about effective communicating. I wish I had read this book in my thirties when I was just beginning to think seriously about assembling a toolkit to navigate my career (and the rest of my life) more successfully. (Alas, the book was just published.) Thinking about that made me think about a couple of other game-changing books I could have used thirty years ago.  So here just in time for summer reading season (or road trip audiobook season) are three titles you might want to check out.
