This book had a slow start but the core of this book was worth the read. It's such a candid take on what it means to have a life well lived. 

A breath of fresh air compared to other CEOs who toot their own horn. This just inspires me to search for work that gives my life meaning, albeit in smaller ways.

To be honest, this book didn't contain anything that I didn't already know. But it did put into words things that I wished I could say. Thank you for putting it simply. It inspires me to get started with my own business.

The Motivation Myth: How High Achievers Really Set Themselves Up to Win by Jeff Haden
Did not finish book. Stopped at 61%.

This book is full of in-your-face truisms that contradict each other. I really wanted to just power through and finish it for the sake of doing so, but I'd rather move on to a better book. Can't waste the rest of my week hoping the next chapter will somehow get better.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.

I was hoping the book would be more interesting, but it was dry as bone. It made me care little about the frivolous lover in the café. Figured I can't slog through the rest. I have better use of my time.
