The MakeWorkWork podcast is a recorded conversation between two friends on each side of the Atlantic – navigating the professional world; talking tech, travel, and reading while doing their best to make work work.

Find below all the books we've ever mentioned on the podcast, sorted by fiction, nonfiction and misc. Find us on Instagram for a feed of our favourite quotes from these as well – and we'd love to hear your own picks for books or quotes.

The links are affiliated, so if you choose to buy one of these a small fraction goes to support the podcast. Thanks for listening.
