First Friday Book Synopsis

The New York Times has just published its list of best-selling business books for April, 2021.

Atomic Habits is back again at the top spot, after a one-month drop, behind the new Bill gates book.  This month, Bill Gates is at #3.

Of the ten books, five are written by women authors.  This may be the highest number of women authors I have seen in this top ten list.  …Progress.

And, of the ten books, we have presented five of them at the First Friday Book Synopsis. At our monthly gatherings, now in our 24^th year, we present two synopses each month.  I have presented Atomic Habits, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, Dare to Lead, and Extreme Ownership.  My former colleague, Karl Krayer, presented Thinking, Fast and Slow.

Here is this month’s list of best-selling business books from the New York Times.  Click over to their site for a link to a review of one of these books.
