Anyone read this? https://www.amazon.in/How-Take-Smart-Notes-Nonfiction-ebook/dp/B06WVYW33Y

If anybody's interested, I just purchased the Kindle version of How to Take Smart Notes for a steal price of INR149. It's usually 449 for Kindle version and the paperback is still listed at 1,100+.

For the programmers (seasoned ones and those starting out) in this group, I would recommend The Pragmatic Programmer, by David Thomas, Andrew Hunt. [web] [audible] Anyone else read this one? I liked the audio version.

I stopped reading self-help books few years ago. But I took this book because it was highly recommended by Naval Ravikant who is a great Thinker. This is deep book. I’ve wrote summary here. https://burhanrashid52.com/2021/06/30/siddhartha

I recently created a bookshelf of sorts in Notion to track all the books I’ve read so far, to-read etc. Also created a timeline view to visualise the reading progress over time. https://www.notion.so/Bookshelf-b1aeda6560bb4bcb93e9bff15c5a22ff

Found this amazing app for book and article summaries https://dsta.sh/MZvMF2y3RsHCiXJJ9 👌🏻

Just finished Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh (Zappos Founder). Alex Banayan (The Third Door) recommended this book, so decided to read it. Good read on his early life and more towards E-commerce and Culture (3/5) (https://www.amazon.in/dp/B00FOT936Y/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1) Kept jumping between Sprint, Originals and Deep Work before deciding on this. Planning on reading ReWork as my next startup book

Any suggestions for light happy reads on Audible? So far I have been listening some best sellers like why we sleep, sapiens, digital minimalism, Rich and poor dad .. I wanna move out from self help and serious genre.

I just read Peopleware. It was so good that I want to highlight the whole book with my marker. I can connect through to each chapter because I’ve experienced those issues & I am sure you have too. https://burhanrashid52.com/2021/07/20/peopleware/

Anyone read "The personal MBA" ? It it worth for a tech person ? Form review it seems like it just explaining the five basic pillar of business. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/9512985-the-personal-mba

I think, to understand or fix something we need to learn first the history of it. So if you want to understand humans then this is the book you should pick. Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari https://burhanrashid52.com/2021/08/06/sapiens/

Slightly digressing from @able-xylophone-142’s suggestion. If you want to understand India you need to learn the history of India. Do read the book, “India After Gandhi” by Ramachandra Guha. I wish they taught this in school and not just about the struggle for independence.

Those who loved using read-wise but hate paying 4$ every month for it, obsidian has a plugin that does just that: https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin Combined with one of the many flashcard plugins, it replicates the exact same experience of readwise for free.

Started reading Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey tonight. 15 pages in and it has been brilliant so far. A line I loved instantly - ¨I never wrote things down to remember; I always wrote things so I could forget¨

Any thoughts on almanack of naval ravikant?

How do you guys finish books that are long/dry? I tried reading deep work, loved it, but it was just too dense and dry. No storytelling and just plain facts. Left it at 40%. What strategies have worked for you?

[Question for folks who listen to audio books] How do you manage to retain the knowledge? I recently started with Audiobooks and struggling with this. I usually listen to them before I go to sleep with a sleep timer but having hard time retaining the stuff I listen. Any tips? 👀
