Richard Hua (EPIQ Leadership Group CEO, former Amazon) carried both recommendations this week — a June 5 post citing Simon Sinek's Start with Why, Angela Duckworth's grit research, and a University of Buffalo stress-mortality study; followed by a June 6 post on relational energy research from the University of Michigan. Ethan Evans referenced two behavioral economics frameworks implicitly. Jack Sallay and Marvin Chow were silent.

Two Amazon alumni surfaced the week's recommendations. Ethan Evans made the case for Eli Goldratt's 1984 operations classic *The Goal* as the most important leadership book in the AI era. Richard Hua recommended Nir Eyal's new *Beyond Belief* and cited BCG research showing AI transformation is 70% human behavior change. Both converged independently on the same argument: the bottleneck isn't the algorithm.

Three recommenders surfaced in the May 15–25 window. Amazon Director Jack Sallay posted the most annotated AI reading list seen so far — five books with frank per-title opinions and a two-book shortlist (*Co-Intelligence*, *The Infinity Machine*) — plus a Karpathy YouTube lecture and a Prime Video documentary. Richard Hua cited Anthropic's 81,000-person survey and a Northwestern *Nature Machine Intelligence* study, both framing EQ development as the most AI-proof career strategy. Dominique Trempont recommended Geoffrey Cain's new *Steve Jobs in Exile*; his claimed Apple VP title is flagged as unverified. No cross-endorsements this cycle.
