Reading List
The Pangea Reading List
The slow library that shaped our practice — from Wendell Berry to Cal Newport, with notes on why each one matters for the work we do.
Updated quarterly
On attention and depth
Cal Newport, Deep Work. The book that gave language to what most leaders already feel. Required reading for anyone running a team in the age of Slack.
On nature and belonging
Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America. Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass. Two books that quietly reshape how a team thinks about the land it works on.
On leadership and presence
Parker Palmer, A Hidden Wholeness. Bill Plotkin, Soulcraft. We hand these out to executives more than any other titles. They tend to either change a leader or be quickly put down. Both responses are useful.
On teams and trust
Amy Edmondson, The Fearless Organization. Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. The two titles that show up most in our facilitator training.
On the long view
Stewart Brand, How Buildings Learn. Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing. Books that pull a leader's gaze out of the quarter and into the decade.
