One of the best self-help books out there. Adlerian psychology is definitely a hard to swallow pill since most of us are used to etiological thinking. But this book convinced me that I can take control of my life at any point in my life using Adler's principles.
The dialogue style writing helped to see Adlerian psychology from different perspectives and it also made the book an easy read.
Crikey! What a great read. I had a few too many mindblown moments while reading this book. I've always been intrigued by time travel sci-fi's, but Blake takes it to a whole another level by tying it with memory manipulation.
I was just a bit disappointed with the missing scientific explanations of the time travel, but Blake's movie-like storytelling and his ability to paint the different timelines for us makes this book a gripping read.
After listening to the audiobook I understand why the fans of the book were disappointed by the movie. Mark Watney of the book is so witty and funny compared to the Mark Watney of the movie. Maybe the first person humour that you enjoy as a reader is hard to convey in a movie. Regardless, I'm quite excited to watch the movie again
Mathew Walker did a great job conveying the importance of sleep. Even for a heavy sleeper with reasonably no trouble sleeping, knowing when I've slept badly and how it affects me throughout the day has made a big difference in my quality sleep and productivity. Also loved that Mathew Walker explains all his premises with supporting evidence from scientific studies and experiments while keeping a non-scholarly individual like me engaged.
This book is for you if you are an individual trying to work on your health and productivity or if you are a parent trying to provide the best for your kids or if you are a senior who is struggling with sleep and health issues. There is something everyone can learn from this book and it is definitely needed education, just like nutrition and hygiene.
Very informative. I totally recommend this book for anyone starting their fitness journey. I say it's a great book for beginners but I've learned a lot of basic science of nutrition and muscles from this book even though I've been into fitness for a few years now.
Some chapters focus on muscular aesthetics, which is not my goal and if it's not yours either you can skim through those chapters. Overall a good read.
A wonderful positive outlook of the world which we forget to see. This will change the way you look at other countries, cultures and people. There is no us and them, we are all going through the same journey, but we are all in different stages of it. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, more so for anyone who grew up in a high earning or Level 4 country.
This man is my idol. His childhood wasn't all roses, but he never complains. He recalls and enjoys the little happy moments of his life. It's so inspiring to see how he had turned his life around.
I don't think I've laughed this hard while reading an autobiography ever. A must-read.
The audible series is exactly what the title describes. A collection of stories from people who were affected by the British empire that triggers conversations.
I'm glad we have started talking about our colonial history. In the words of Shashi Tharoor “We can forgive, but not forget”. Once we learn how history had shaped us, it can only see us free.
Love Huhg's positive outlook and I'm glad he found the secret of happiness in India. I've been practising GEM for a month now and I'm starting to see a positive change in my day-to-day life.
