TEP Talk: The Best Books
Despite being the ultimate tech-junkies here at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club, we still enjoy an escape from (virtual) reality with a good book (even if it’s an audiobook or podcast) every now and then. And since we’re always curious as to what our community enjoys and is into as of late, we decided to host a Coffee Talk at Technology Enterprise Park (TEP) last Wednesday following the Labor Day holiday weekend to uncover what reads our members recommend.
Armed with coffee and doughnuts – the perfect accoutrements to any book – we asked attendees to share a recent or all-time favorite book. From traditional paperback reads to the latest digital consumption, below are a few suggestions from our community members:
“The Bible” by multiple contributors
“Extreme Ownership” by Jocko Willink
“Know What You're For” by Jeff Henderson
“Planet Word” by J.P. Davidson, forward from Stephen Fry
“The Overwhelmed Brain” book and podcast by Paul Colaianni
“Ear Hustle” podcast by Earlonne Woods and Antwan Williams
“SmartLess” podcast by Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes
Additionally, several attendees mentioned they haven’t read anything lately. Fortunately for them, from the info we collected, we’re able to share some recommendations they might enjoy now!
And speaking of podcasts, International Podcast Day is on Thursday, September 30. In honor of the special occasion, we’re hosting a Mind of a Maker activation, Podcasting With a Pro. Stop by Technology Enterprise Park at 3 p.m. for an open Q&A, all about podcasting. Equipment, software, content, and techniques will be shared by your host, Jared Serfozo. The demonstration will include professional equipment in the lobby for you to record your future predictions for the next year of our lives. Be sure to RSVP now!
