  • 1.  Favourite book of all time

    Posted 7 hours ago

    The UK has designated 2026 as the National Year of Reading, and the fair that just closed in London few days ago, served as its global launchpad.

    The main objective of this initiative is to re-brand reading by connecting it to other hobbies and to combat the decline in reading for pleasure. 

    To initiate this conversation, I would be interested to know what would be your favourite book of all time.  I understand that it is a vast subject, but sharing your favourite could motivate others to go and reread 'this old book that you liked so much' or to go to your local library or bookshop to enjoy the discovery of something new or different.

    I have to admit - I'm not much of a reader… that's actually one of the reasons I gave up on becoming a lawyer 😄

    But one book that really stuck with me is The Monk and the Executive. It brings a simple yet powerful message about leadership being rooted in service, empathy, and consistency rather than authority.

    It's a short read, but it definitely makes you reflect on how we lead, communicate, and build trust - both at work and in life.

    I would echo Kaio in terms of not being much of a reader these days, but one of my resolutions this year was to try to read more. When I was younger, I was captivated by Dan Brown's DaVinci Code series. I think that would have topped my list then, and I'm planning on revisiting as an adult. I like the root in history, religion and mystery throughout the novels.
