The 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen R. Covey

This is our absolute favourite and it has the reasons. This books based on multiple research of human behaviour and development. Stephen divides the book into sections accordingly in tune with how to define human behavioural development. How we go from being dependent during early ages of growth, to independent and lastly interdependent. Highly nourishing read! Recommended to read a section at a time and reflect.

2)

Think fast, and slow by Daniel Kahneman
The nobel prize award winner Daniel Kahneman in economy here emphasises humans mind in decision making processes by describing in depth the two systems, our first system that is our reflex thoughts and our second system that is a decision made after processing information. These behaviours control our decisions in deed in everyday life. In the book it is based on decisions in regard to financial outcome, though it is well applicable to life as you are given a deeper explanation about how your mind work. Daniel clearly gives examples you easily familiarize yourself with and situations you feel you've been through several times. That is good, because further you can work on what you feel is needed to be developed in order to pursue your real wants and not act upon your reflexive mind.

A necessary manual in social competence by Henrik Fexeus
Knowing how to interpret social behaviours right and how to not fall into wrong messages is a continuous work of art to develop. You learn something every day you encounter a new person you experience a new situation and you learn something new on how to interact. Knowing this, you can also easily discriminate what is real and what is not. Sometimes you also get a little laugh for yourself without that person knowing it.  

Title in Swedish: Fingertoppskänsla - en nödvändig manual i social kompetens

Professor Hans Rosling by/with Fanny Hagelstam
From pure interest in public health in early ages, to courageously pursuing the comprehension of the competence and health differences between developing and industrial countries, to creating a tool of educational purposes. With this tool, Gap Minder, proving that not the industrial countries are always the better countries in terms of health and therefore break the anticipation of conclusions that might not be right. An inspiring and real game changer in public health!
