Top Five Regrets of the Dying

Apart from the regrets that author has shared, I liked her story also and how she has described learnings from each stages/different jobs of her life. It is a good read so far and a reminder to not always live/plan for the future and material success.

For the first three years of my career, I did not know what agile was. I first came to know about the “Agile” word when I was copy-pasting my resume headline from someone else's resume.

Looking for book recommendations to better traverse through human relationships , intimacy and marriages.

Guys do you read any offline things which are not books? I was thinking of reading newspapers but they are too depressing. Looking for recommendations for magazines which are interesting and increase knowledge.

Finished reading "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals" and everything this book says boils down to "Live in the Present". We have heard this advice counts times and this point this is a quote I brush of as cliche and turn towards the countless other "Productivity Gurus" to learn about the latest hacks, tips, and tricks to maximize my output. All you get is one life, right? So what's wrong with trying to get everything in that life? Seems like I was wrong and this book opened me upto a new way of thinking. Plus the author is an ex-productivity nerd like me so we really connected 😉 notes: https://jjmachan.in/notes/four-thousand-weeks/

Currently reading: War of Lanka I’m about 300 pages in and finding it very hard to continue reading it further. Generally, I sometimes put down non-fiction books if the narrative is not interesting enough but fiction books, I don’t remember ever stopping reading one in the middle, no matter how shitty it is. Once I start a story, I just have to know the ending. This book is full of cringe in every chapter. I clearly remember reading Immortals of Meluha for the first time and awed by the tortoise warfare, description of the entire war sequence etc. But this book feels like preaching every opportunity it gets or revisionist history of India. Is anyone else reading/read the book and felt the same way?

I like non fiction books that hail from the spaces of mental health and self help
