    By Jack Weatherford

    • Lisa Ling Source
    • Fareed Zakaria Source

    I've just finished reading a great book. It's Jack Weatherford's "Genghis Khan and The Making of the Modern World." It's my book of the week. Weatherford really makes you understand that Genghis Khan's territory was the roman empire of Asia. He conquered the lands that make up China, Russia, India, and much more. We now think of Genghis Khan as a barbarian, but he was a great modernizer, fascinating read.

    • Andrew Ross Sorkin Source

    One of my favorite biographers is Walter Isaacson... The book is filled with gems of no-names (at least to most of us) whose seemingly small ideas had huge impacts.

    I don't believe that there's a set of 20 rules. Some of them are useful, like if you look at Strunk and White. I actually prefer William Zinsser. On Writing Well, which I think is better.

    • Walter Isaacson Source
    • Fareed Zakaria Source

    My book of the week is Kurt Andersen's "Fantasyland." This is a powerful, well-written book about perhaps the most deeply disturbing phenomenon in America today, the way that fantasy has eclipsed fact in our politics and culture. If you want to understand why this has happened, read this essential book.

    This week's book is called "Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India." It's by Joseph Lelyved, the former editor of the "New York Times." It's not a conventional biography. It tells the story of a how a young lawyer, an Indian lawyer went to South Africa, politically inactive and was transformed into this great leader of a mass, nonviolent resistance movement. How did Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi become Mahatma Gandhi? A fascinating story.

    My NYT column on Ray Dalio's new book, Principles. It is an important book. I was surprisingly moved by it. I found it to be remarkably engaging. It made me think about life and how we all deal with each other in pretty profound ways. And Mr. Dalio's own story about how he came to these principles is fascinating.

    By Phil Knight

    Recommended by 1 of 249 journalists

    • Fareed Zakaria Source

    This week's book of the week is "Shoe Dog," by Phil Knight. I picked this up because Bill Gates recommended it on his blog and it was well worth it. The founder of Nike has written an extraordinary memoir, one of the best stories of entrepreneurship I've ever read. It's well written but, most strikingly, it's a deeply honest account of all the doubts, setbacks and trade-offs on the way to business super-success.
