Every book Anand Sanwal recommended on podcasts
Anand Sanwal appeared on My First Million to discuss business, leadership, and educational philosophies. During the episode, Sanwal brought up the book Weapons of Mass Instruction by John Taylor Gatto. He described it uniquely as an aggressive book, noting that it was the only publication he would characterize that way, and explained that it explores how traditional schools are totally broken and rigid, noting that the author was an ex-teacher. Additionally, Sanwal recommended Chasing Perfection by Rachel Brooks, which details the history and practices of the De La Salle High School football team, recognized as the winningest high school football team in history. Sanwal noted that while the book includes a great deal of detailed information about specific sports drills that he personally did not care about, the first half of the book offers great insights on leadership, team building, and motivation. Through these recommendations, Sanwal highlighted literature that challenges conventional systems and examines high-performance environments.
