As many professionals use the next few weeks to take a well-earned break, some will also use the opportunity to think objectively about what lies ahead for business in the coming months.
Clearly the economic and political turbulence of recent weeks means that uncertainty will remain the norm, rather than the exception for some time.

Here are their suggestions:
- The Chimp Paradox: The Mind Management Programme to Help You Achieve Success, Confidence and Happiness by Prof Steve Peters
