Skip the MBA, follow Elon Musk's idea and read these 10 books instead.

A thread..

1. "Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking" by M. Neil Browne.

This book “helps bridge the gap between simply memorizing or blindly accepting information, and the greater challenge of critical analysis and synthesis,” according to Amazon.
2. "Organizational Culture and Leadership" by Edgar H. Schein.

A classic textbook on organizational culture and leadership.
3. "Essentials of Organizational Behavior" by Stephen P. Robbins.

This textbook is now in its 14th edition, so it must be pretty useful.
4. "The Management of Innovation" by G. M. Stalker and Tom Burns.

Originally published in 1961, this is “one of the most influential books about business organizations ever,” Amazon claims.
5. "Business Finance: Theory and Practice" by Eddie McLaney.

Save yourself even more by checking the older editions of this one — the price drops from $75 to $3.
6. "A Theory of Human Motivation" by A. H. Maslow.

Heard of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? This is where the idea comes from.
7. "Critical Analysis of Organizations: Theory, Practice, Revitalization" by Catherine Casey.

This doesn’t look like a light read at all but it tackles an interesting theme: new, critical takes on the subject of organizations and how people behave within them
8. "Defining Moments: When Managers Must Choose Between Right and Right" by Joseph Badaracco.

A discussion of navigating those moments when your business and values are in conflict.
9. "Business Intelligence and Analytics: Systems for Decision Support" by Efraim Turban.

“The only comprehensive, up-to-date guide to today’s revolutionary management support system technologies,” says Amazon
10. "Corporate Finance" by Jeffrey F. Jaffe, Stephen A. Ross and Randolph Westerfield.

Another classic textbook, now in its 11th edition.

शमशान में जब महर्षि दधीचि के मांसपिंड का दाह संस्कार हो रहा था तो उनकी पत्नी अपने पति का वियोग सहन नहीं कर पायी और पास में ही स्थित विशाल पीपल वृक्ष के कोटर में अपने तीन वर्ष के बालक को रख के स्वयं चिता पे बैठ कर सती हो गयी ।इस प्रकार ऋषी दधीचि और उनकी पत्नी की मुक्ति हो गयी।


परन्तु पीपल के कोटर में रखा बालक भूख प्यास से तड़पने लगा। जब कुछ नहीं मिला तो वो कोटर में पड़े पीपल के गोदों (फल) को खाकर बड़ा होने लगा। कालान्तर में पीपल के फलों और पत्तों को खाकर बालक का जीवन किसी प्रकार सुरक्षित रहा।

एक दिन देवर्षि नारद वहां से गुजर रहे थे ।नारद ने पीपल के कोटर में बालक को देख कर उसका परिचय मांगा -
नारद बोले - बालक तुम कौन हो?
बालक - यही तो मैं भी जानना चहता हूँ ।
नारद - तुम्हारे जनक कौन हैं?
बालक - यही तो मैं भी जानना चाहता हूँ ।

तब नारद ने आँखें बन्द कर ध्यान लगाया ।


तत्पश्चात आश्चर्यचकित हो कर बालक को बताया कि 'हे बालक! तुम महान दानी महर्षि दधीचि के पुत्र हो । तुम्हारे पिता की अस्थियों का वज्रास्त्र बनाकर ही देवताओं ने असुरों पर विजय पायी थी।तुम्हारे पिता की मृत्यु मात्र 31 वर्ष की वय में ही हो गयी थी'।

बालक - मेरे पिता की अकाल मृत्यु का क्या कारण था?
नारद - तुम्हारे पिता पर शनिदेव की महादशा थी।
बालक - मेरे उपर आयी विपत्ति का कारण क्या था?
नारद - शनिदेव की महादशा।
इतना बताकर देवर्षि नारद ने पीपल के पत्तों और गोदों को खाकर बड़े हुए उस बालक का नाम पिप्पलाद रखा और उसे दीक्षित किया।
First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
