While I have my main journey thread up and running, I thought I'd open a separate journey to keep myself accountable for reading. I fucking love reading. Time at university and my day job killed this habit.

Now, that I have more time - I picked up on my habit. Less Netflix and more books in my free time. I'll update this thread once in a while on what I am reading and what I think about the book. I sometimes read, sometimes listen to audiobooks.

Feel free to suggest books. Add your reviews :)

Good luck, reading is awesome!

If you like productivity books I recommend The Power of Habit.
 
bro, Reading has become a hobby for me too and it all happened after i finished university and got married. Now i think i have missed out so much in my life before developing the reading hobby :P
 
Nice! I'm trying to hit 100 audiobooks in a year, so a similar goal. So many good ones, it's hard to make any helpful suggestions, but here are some that I've gone through recently that have been awesome:

think and grow rich, richest man in Babylon, think like a rocket scientist, your first $100 million, psycho cybernetics, STORY by Robert McKee (if youre into copywriting and selling with story - geared towards book and movie script writers but same principles apply to compelling sales script), anything by Jim Rohn and Seth Godin

Best of luck with your journey! Keep us updated with what you're reading, thoughts, and takeaways - looking forward to others suggestions as well.
 
Good luck.
I have read 18 books (audiobooks) this year so far and it's already more than what I have read in my entire life until I started. I will have to re-read some of them to make sure I fully grasped everything these books had to offer.

Current one: The mom test (product validation)

Cheers,

Yep i too mix up reading with listening to audiobooks. Richest man in Babylon is definitely on my list.
I started reading "think and grow rich" years ago and gave it up in the middle. Maybe i should pick it up again.

That's awesome. If you had to name the best 3 out of that 18 books, what are them?
 
48 laws of Power seems good lets give it a read
 
Nice, read the concise version of 48 laws of power by Robert Greene
 
Keep Reading, I wish you to finish your journey successfully.
 
Good luck!

I recommend you to check this book: Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Onesby James Clear https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40121378-atomic-habits

It was useful to fight with my procrastination.
 
Unscripted is good, should give you even more reasons to invest in your SaaS biz ;)

A few good books I would recommend :
  • 12 rules for life (J. Peterson) about well, life, in general
  • Thinking fast and slow (D. Kahneman) about cognitive biases and how our mind works
  • Guns, germs and steel (J. Diamond) about the real reasons "it is what it is" in History eg. why did Europeans invade America and not the opposite ?
well worth the read

I can suggest a lot more but that should get the ball rolling !
Stay consistent !

Cheers

Nah, I was good at maths already haha. I see no use for this :p
------------------------------------------

A small update :D

Unscripted:
Finished around 80%. It is a good book.
There is a bit of rant in the first few chapters. About 9-5/ and how we use temporary stuff to distract ourselves aka "The scripted life". I call it a rant coz I had already quit my day job when I picked up his book. It might be entertaining for someone else though.But I'd still give 5 stars. Coz the second half is very eye-opening. Especially about providing value. Probably too real for our BHW audience. :D

The Rational Male.
This book is like the bible of "Red Pill" lifestyle. This was recommended by r/TheRedPill subreddit. If you are picking this up, try to have an open mind. Coz for the average person, this may sound very anti-feminist and sexist at times.
I'm still around 40% and so far loving it.

Did you finish "The Rational Male"? Read much criticism about the book.

What I can recommend:

Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products - Nir Eyal
