Two Book Power Pack

I recently had the experience where two books I read resonated with one another in a surprising way. Right after finishing A More Beautiful Question my friend and colleague Daryl recommended I read Work Rules. 

These two books, read together or in quick succession, results in a gain much greater than the sum of their parts. There are common threads between the two, regarding inquiry and innovation at work, with A More Beautiful Question approaching it theoretically and on a high level, and Work Rules sitting in as a detailed case study.

If you are interested in innovation and organization in businesses today, reading these two together will bear serious fruit.
