There are no shortcuts — reading takes time. “I spend an inordinate amount of time reading,” Warren Buffett told students at the University of Nebraska in 1994. “I probably read at least six hours a day. Maybe more.” That’s a staggering commitment from anyone — let alone the leader of a global business empire.
Buffett keeps his schedule deliberately lean with no meetings to clutter his day. This places reading and reflection at the heart of Buffett’s professional life.
I’m not a parent, but I am a son. I attended a conference in Constanța with Lavinia Stan. Furthermore, I cried a few times at the conference. At the end …
Very good book, enjoyed it! Well written, with lots of personal vulnerabilities. Easy to read, not too complex. Highly motivational.
It’s common knowledge that when you exercise, you become stronger. You increase your power. There’s a book by Maria Duduman, “Exercises of love”. The title might let you think that …
There are authors who write – “Hmm, I didn’t like this book/movie/TV Series. Still, I will comment on it, so that you could consider avoiding it”.
Currently, I’m not a big fan of the methdod.
I prefer to focus on gems.
The main reason? I don’t necessarily get vocabulary, a certain state, or some emotions from a book. I most often look to gain some good insight from a book, and this generally doesn’t require the book to be good.
Same thing for a movie.
Thus, some books I like and some movies I like are not necessarily the same as others.
It might be a good movie that I don’t like, or it might be a poorly written book that I love.
I apply the same logic to others – if I didn’t like a book/movie, I think there could still be plenty of people who might like it.
On the other hand, I don’t like all the movies I see/books I read, so it’s actually easier to focus only on the ones I enjoy.
Some thoughts about “Reframe Your Brain: The User Interface for Happiness and Success” by Scott Adams?
It looks like a very simple book. I will try not to give you spoilers (can you actually provide spoilers to a business and personal development book?), but things look simple on the surface.
Going deeper, I think it could be a life-changing book.
I enjoyed it, and plan to reread it, one of the best books I’ve read. It might actually be the best book I’ve read.
Of course, it’s not for the literary style, but for the practical advantages of changing your brain.
I highly recommend it!
I read “Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones”, by James Clear. Improvement requires a delicate balance. You need to regularly search …
I read “Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones”, by James Clear.
I liked this quote a lot:
I refer to this as the difference between being in motion and taking action. The two ideas sound similar, but they’re not the same. When you’re in motion, you’re planning and strategizing and learning. Those are all good things, but they don’t produce a result.
Action, on the other hand, is the type of behavior that will deliver an outcome. If I outline twenty ideas for articles I want to write, that’s motion. If I actually sit down and write an article, that’s action. If I search for a better diet plan and read a few books on the topic, that’s motion. If I actually eat a healthy meal, that’s action.
Sometimes motion is useful, but it will never produce an outcome by itself. It doesn’t matter how many times you go talk to the personal trainer, that motion will never get you in shape. Only the action of working out will get the result you’re looking to achieve.
Of course, you need to read things, prepare for a meeting, and do some exercise. But the actual action is using the learned knowledge/way of thinking, holding the meeting and running the marathon.
This is a very important piece of information – I sometimes get lost in preparing things, but the real focus should be on starting new things.
Quite a realization!
The book is great, I wholeheartedly recommend it!
I’ve read “Iubirea” – by Pr. Octavian Blaga.
It’s a very moving book, I enjoyed reading it.
It tends to be powerful; there are powerful stories in it.
I consider it well-written; it engaged me.
It’s one of the most beautiful books I’ve read! Highly recommended!
