Zsolt Olah has read a lot of books. AND he’s read a lot of L&D books. In fact, over a twelve-week period he read over 100 books in preparation for writing his own book, Engage the WORL&D!: A whimsical, brain-picking “meme-oir” from a creative digital learning strategist. So it comes as no surprise that Zsolt published a popular article about L&D Book Recommendations on eLearningIndustry.com.

So this is why Zsolt was a perfect guest for our Community Discussion on “What Are Your Favorite L&D Books?”.

As a quick summary, here are the distilled recommendations Zsolt has for reading. Consider it “highlights” from his original article.

Be sure to listen to the podcast or view the TLDCast episode for more detail about why he recommends each of these books.
