Holiday Gift Guide
Looking for gift ideas for the entrepreneurs of business people in your life? Here are some great books to consider:
Everybody knows that work requires a certain sense of humor, right? And so “The Customer is Always Wrong” by Scott Seiss (Harper Celebrate, $22.99) is a book that’ll help your giftee keep a smile on that overworked face.
Here’s a unique little gift for the businessperson on your list: “Pencil” by Carol Beggy (Bloomsbury, $14.95). It’s a small book, perfect for a stocking-stuffer, and it’s all about the writing instrument we know. And did you know about two billion are used by Americans each year?
The gamer on your list—the one who’s also an entrepreneur—will like to unwrap “Playing with Reality” by Kelly Clancy (Riverhead, $30). What do games teach us about science, business, and risk? Looking at games from antiquity to AI, this book will tell it.
For the young entrepreneurial couple on your list, “Tightwads and Spendthrifts: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships” by Scott Rick (St. Martin’s Press, $28) may be something they’ll both appreciate. It’s a book that offers advice and a guideline for making sure both finances and love triumph in the end.
If the giftee on your list is trying to achieve a good work-life balance, then give them “Over Work: Transforming the Daily Grind in the Quest for a Better Life” by Brigid Schulte (Henry Holt, $31.99). This book will help your giftee understand how some everyday tasks are considered “work” and how some unpaid jobs can contribute to your happiness.
Wrap it up with “Directional Living: A Transformational Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life” by Megan Hellerer (Penguin Life, $29.00). The subtitle says it all.
