I'm a Lencioni fan:
Death by Meeting -- Describes 3 types of meetings
Getting Naked -- Describes how to consult
I'm also a Marshall Goldsmith fan:
What Got You Here Won't Get You There - Once you get beyond a Director level with some mistakes, read this book
Mojo, How to Get It, How To Keep It - Another "look yourself in the mirror" book
Also:
21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership - John Maxwell. A little prod to act more like a leader.
Ready Player One -- Ernest Cline, Great Young Adult Book. Escapist fantasy.
Every Shot Counts -- Mark Broady, Statistical Look At Golf, but has some smell of Kahnemann
To Kill A Mockingbird -- Timeless Classic I Never Got To. Loved Atticus. I won't read a Watchman if it spoils my view of what Atticus was all about.
Started But Not Finished:
Business Dynamics Thinking -- Sterman (out of MIT). I need to take off work to read this 'cause it is so massive. Basically it is control theory applied to business modelling. However, I am convinced if somebody can apply these models, it really is the best competitive advantage. However, too people willing to stick with it.
How to Measure Anything -- Douglas Hubbard. Sort of makes me mad because it is so commonsense, yet most businesses don't apply this commonsense approach.

* Professionals miss the cut n times in a row, then win next tournament.
* The ridiculous "tips" videos with all the machinations and methods they put forth to help you with your game - I'd rather play Twister.
* Equipment - costs and technology changes. Drivers are getting closer to looking like a sawed-off bowling ball attached to a shaft.
However, I do enjoy watching the pros play and Spieth's 13th hole in the British Open and follow up was a memorable event.
The PGA has to be commended for making public a great amount of super-detailed data for use in analysis. I wish the bigger sports did this.
The book "Every Shot Counts" by Mark Broadie may help guide you to improve your game, if you are interested in a data analysis approach.
Cheers
