Overview
This three-book non-fiction bundle brings together sharp thinking on leadership, execution, and personal productivity in one set. Radical Candor by Kim Scott, a former Google and Apple executive, lays out a framework for giving honest feedback without losing your humanity. How Big Things Get Done by Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg and journalist Dan Gardner explains why megaprojects succeed or fail. Get Sh*t Done rounds out the set with practical advice on turning intentions into results. Together, they form a working library for anyone who manages people, projects, or their own to-do list.
About the Books
Radical Candor grew out of Kim Scott's years managing teams at Google and later teaching a management course at Apple University. The book argues the best bosses combine "caring personally" with "challenging directly," rejecting both withheld feedback and unfiltered criticism. It has become a staple of management training, translated into numerous languages and cited by executives across Silicon Valley as a fix for vague feedback culture.
How Big Things Get Done zooms out to the scale of ambitious projects: skyscrapers, transit lines, kitchen renovations, product launches. Flyvbjerg, called the world's leading expert on megaprojects, spent decades studying why most large projects run over budget or schedule. With Dan Gardner's storytelling, the book distills that research into case studies, from the Empire State Building's rapid rise to costly infrastructure delays, offering principles readers can apply to projects of any size.
Get Sh*t Done closes the set with a tighter focus on the individual, tackling the everyday friction of procrastination that keeps good plans from becoming finished work. It leans into practical routines and mindset shifts designed to help readers build the discipline to follow through.
