Sapiens: A brief history of humanity
Recommended by Anastasia
"Understand the past to make sense of the present—and shape the future of humanity."
*Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind* by Yuval Noah Harari takes you on a journey through the history of humanity, from the earliest days of Homo sapiens to the modern world. Harari explores how we evolved, how we built societies, and how our shared beliefs shaped everything from politics to religion. What makes the book so fascinating is its big-picture view, showing how the agricultural revolution, the rise of empires, and capitalism all influenced the way we live today. It's a thought-provoking read that challenges how we think about human history, progress, and the future.
Communicating for Results
Recommended by Anastasia
"Master the art of professional communication with this essential guide—your key to excelling in Canadian business environments and making a lasting impact"
This is the book I used in my first year of university in John Molson School of Business at Concordia University. There is literally no better book to read if you want to understand the foundations of business communication in Canada. This coursebook focuses on practical techniques for crafting clear, concise, and impactful messages across various platforms—whether it's writing emails, delivering presentations, or participating in meetings. It emphasizes the importance of adapting communication styles to different audiences, fostering collaboration, and resolving conflicts effectively. With its focus on both theory and real-world application, this book is an invaluable tool for students and professionals who want to excel in their careers through effective communication.
