Hello, I’ve got some long haul flights coming up and as I don’t sleep on planes, I always use this as great reading time.

Please recommend any good business or politics books you might have read recently.

I work in tech/digital, and I’m a passionate remainer, if that helps give you a flavour of what I might like.

Thanks.

Switch by Chip and Dan Heath. It's about how to make lasting changes in organisations and why sometimes changes fail, regardless of how logical they are. Great book.

Obamas autobiographies. I read audacity of hope on one leg of AMS-LAX.

Churchill by Roy Jenkins I found utterly absorbing. Really worth reading

Richard Feynman’s Appendix to the Challenger Disaster Report

The principles expounded apply to both business and political structures in plain language without the bullshit MBA-speak.
