What was the last book you read?

Like most books in that area, some parts are very stretched out and repetitive to justify a book instead of a blog post or YouTube video. That said the basic principles are good and overall it's pretty solid. I actually picked this one up on Audible so I'll need to give it another pass to catch anything I zoned out on originally but there are certainly worse choices.

If I listen to something on an Audiobook it's usually because I'm falling asleep or doing something mindless at the same time. Your retention rate is always going to be lower compared to sitting down and just reading it. So I am going to listen to it again and even though parts are fairly repetitive it's one of the better books on productivity or habits.

What was the last book you read? Did you like it? Would you recommend it?

I'll start.

Elon Musk: A Mission to Save the World by Anna Crowley Redding.
QhBV0ES


This is the only book I've read about him. It was quite short, but I liked it. The man's a genius. He deserves his billions 100%.
The book shows his entrepreneurial spirit and I feel inspired by him, which is great.

While I completely agree that Elon is a brilliant and wonderful human being, he is not perfect nor always accurate. Like any mortal being, he is infallible
and makes mistakes and errors all the time too.

I believe while his intentions are good, but as they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, I do challenge his title or idea of "saving the world".
His idea of or mission to save the world is by technological advancement and colonizing mars / space exploration. On the contrary, I argue that is not
the primary modus operandi to saving the world. If you want to save the world, you have to save the individual human person, not the planet, not space travel,
not electric cars, etc. Why do we need to save the human person as top priority to saving the world? Quite simply, the world is made up of people.

In essence, a world problem is a people problem because the world is made up of people. Great man, and I am generally a fan of his, but his noble intentions
are somewhat misguided in my opinion. He actually had a good debate with Jack Ma about this as you all recall. People really trashed on Jack Ma and praised
Elon, but I think Jack Ma was actually on point. Focusing on people is more important than focusing on space.
 
"10 Minute Currency Strategy guide: Successful Forex Strength Trading" by Paul Cade. If you are a newbie in Forex, it's an OK read. I've been reading a lot of forex books lately and haven't found a great one yet. I've been compiling strategies from books that I read and testing them out.

The last self-help book I read was "The SEVEN Most EFFECTIVE Methods of SELF-HYPNOSIS: How to Create Rapid Change in your Health, Wealth, and Habits." by Richard Nongard and I highly recommended it - especially if your bad habits and/or feelings takes over you sometimes.

Exactly my thoughts, Is Elon brilliant? Of course (he might be one of the best marketer/manager on this planet right now). Does he want to make money? - of course he does and going many terrible ways to make it.

Elon's 'Saving the world' looks like every tech company's 'We're making the world a better place' slogan to me. Elon and Kylie are just the perfect example of how to use your following to create wealth on bigger level. To me, rich people donating wealth (making it by terrible means first) is like sending a truck of food after two years of the village dying from starvation when they were making money by killing those people...
