The Way of the Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Women, Work, and Sexual Desire by David Deida

challenging informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

The path of the superior man was certainly an interesting reading. The claim in this book is that everyone is made up of both masculine and feminine qualities, but most of us tend to have one more than the others. This is a book for men or women, gay or straight "male" people. It teaches us how to be a "good man" and how a man should act and lead his more feminine partner. We don't agree with everything, but there are many truths in this book. Sometimes there are also unpleasant truths.

So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

The author talks about a central theme, which is that ‘following your passion’ is bad advice and he does a great job at relating it to his own life while still keeping it interesting for the readers. He says to follow these steps: Don’t obsess over discovering your calling. Master rare and valuable skills and invest it wisely. Use it to acquire control over what you do and how you do it and to identify and act on a life-changing mission

The One-Page Financial Plan: A Simple Way to Be Smart about Your Money by Carl Richards

informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

This book is a very practical book and it is split into sections. The first section talks about what the point of money is to you and understanding your future goals. The next section is about how to budget and how to spend your money. A great thing I learned was the 72 hour rule. The final section is investing, where he talks about what investing actually is and how to avoid mistakes.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson

inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck argues that individuals should seek to find meaning through what they find to be important and only engage in values that they can control. Values (such as popularity) that are not under a person's control, are, according to the book, 'bad values'. Furthermore, individuals should strive to replace these uncontrollable values with things they have the capability to change, such as punctuality, honesty, or kindness. Manson further cautions against claiming certainty about knowledge that is out of one's grasp, especially in the case of attempting to leave a legacy. Meaning can be found, Manson claims, when one seeks to create joy at the moment for one's self and those around as opposed to being concerned with building a body of work as a legacy.
