12 books that we read

Want to better understand people? Learn how to strengthen willpower, increase personal and professional effectiveness, pump emotions management? Under the cut you will find a list of books to develop these and other skills. Of course, the advice of the authors is not a cure for all ills, and they are not suitable for everyone. But a little reflection on what you are doing wrong (or, on the contrary, what exactly you are doing right) will never be superfluous.



This list is the top 12 most requested books in the Plarium Krasnodar library over the past year.







In general access in the Krasnodar studio Plarium is more than 200 professional and business publications. They are divided into categories: artbooks, art, marketing, management, programming and copywriting. What is most in demand? Books on management. But not only managers take them: in this category there is a lot of literature for self-development, books on stress tolerance, time management, etc.



The preferences of our employees are easy to explain. Most of the guys come to us to work with a decent store of knowledge, developed hard-skills. They read highly specialized books at one time, and now they are sitting on specialized sites.



You might think that the library simply does not have the necessary literature, they say that they buy it, then the staff read it. But the library is mainly formed just on the basis of the wishes of the guys. With a certain frequency, the office manager collects and processes departments' applications, makes a list, and books are acquired. It turns out that the development of soft skills is really a priority for many.



If you are aiming for the same, take a look at our selection. We hope you like something. So, a list of the best management books according to Plarium Krasnodar.
