I’ve always believed that L&D is a multidisciplinary field that draws on so many other disciplines such as psychology, behavioral science, design thinking, marketing, advertising and sales, copywriting, and so many more. So, while it’s important to keep ourselves updated about the happenings in our field, it’s equally essential that we educate ourselves on these disciplines as well.
I have compiled a basic list of books from some of these other disciplines. These feed in to the work that we do, directly or indirectly, and make us richer for it. I hope you will check them out.
