In this episode of FlashCast By PDB, Phil Di Bella talks about the books and materials that keep him stimulated, active, and motivated. Phil shares some of his favourite books on negotiation, mindset, leadership, and personal growth, along with his thoughts on the Harvard Business Review and other podcasts.

Phil highlights the importance of understanding people and their behaviours, as they are the common denominator in business. He recommends the book "You Can Read Anyone" by David Le Lieberman, which helps readers understand people's egos, self-esteem, and fight or flight response.

Phil also discusses the art of negotiation and recommends "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss. This book teaches readers how to separate emotions from the negotiation process and focus on interests to generate wins for both parties.

Furthermore, Phil talks about the importance of having a growth mindset and recommends "Mindset" by Carol Dweck. This book discusses the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset and how one can develop a growth mindset through focus and attention.

Phil also talks about his admiration for Ray Kroc and the lessons he learned from his book, "Grinding It Out." This book talks about the importance of being a people business, focusing on customers, and building a world phenomenon through hard work and sacrifice.

Phil concludes the episode by emphasizing the importance of personalizing the materials one reads, listens to, or watches. He advises listeners to take notes, analyze data, and apply the lessons learned in their personal and professional lives.
