Bright Ocean's Reading List

July 31, 2024

Table of Contents

Here is the never complete list of literature I want to read / have read.

This list is always growing - let me know what I should add! There are so many important concepts that apply to our daily work. It's important that I know what it means to live ethically and responsibly.

I am operating from a Canadian perspective, which means that I intend to learn how to build businesses that serve markets globally from within the political, legal, and cultural environment of Canada.
