This is a good book with general guidelines for being successful in corporate work: set priorities and complete your work with excellence, build credibility and develop your network;

  • Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport. The book about the importance of Deep Work and flow state for achieving great results;
