For eg. last month I was reading Company of One because I really felt that was a story I needed to read

This month maybe I will read a technical book on Elixir but I'd still like to read one which others are reading as well. I think I can find the time for both books 🙂

social accountability

that is nice thing 🤔 but choice of books must be based on people I guess then, how do you choose?

Hmm .. guess it's time for a rethink 😅

Let's use @astonishing-piano-92905 to create a survey (maybe)

@calm-grass-85557 I’m midway into Atomic Habits if you want company.

Your results are in! 🎉

What do we do here ? 😅

Let's try an ad hoc approach this month and review it later

Would love it if you can share what you are planning to read this month

I'll go first .. I am reading Atomic Habits

I'll be re-reading How to win friends and influence people.

Will also take action which i didn't do last time

Just finished reading Atomic Habits today. Different from other books on habit forming (e.g. Power of habit) because this is more actionable advice. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking to get more structure in life.

Will start reading The Messy Middle tomorrow.

I am reading Kafka on the Shore from Haruki Murakami, will share more about it as I am going more through it 😉

Reading Bold by Steven Kotler, almost done by now

Wow I love this !! Keep these updates coming ⚡

Was recently reading Principles by Ray Dalio, gave up because I thought I got the idea. Currently trying to take more action instead of reading. 😆

I listened to Hidden order and darkfever in Feb. Now listening to Neuromancer.

Company of one - who's read it? any reviews yet and did you order kindle or paperback/harcover?

I think remote work is quite entrepreneurial in nature and this is one of the books I'd like to recommend if you want to imbibe that spirit. Sharing some highlights to whet your appetite 🙂

set the channel topic: 📚Share what you are reading

I think the mentioned point applies to programming as well - What are your thoughts @acceptable-flag-71699 @rough-autumn-89795 @lively-kitchen-45586 https://www.collaborativefund.com/blog/the-most-overlooked-trait-of-investing-success/

Halfway through Atomic Habits. Thanks for indirect recommendation guys 😄... So many interesting concepts and methods in this book. Loved this one - "It doesn’t feel good to fail or to be judged publicly, so we tend to avoid situations where that might happen. And that’s the biggest reason why you slip into motion rather than taking action: you want to delay failure."

I have finished some books and still have a long reading list. I will share my reviews over time but if I have to recommend 1 book to get me started here. One of my favourites is https://www.amazon.in/Thinking-Bets-Making-Smarter-Decisions/dp/0735216355/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=thinking+in+bets&qid=1557229945&s=gateway&sr=8-3 One of the key takeaways is : Life is not like chess where you think doing x will get you y results. Life is more like poker where you only know the cards in your hands and not what your opponent holds. So it doesn't matter if you or your opponent has better cards, what matters is how you play them. Adapting this analogy in life, you can only control what you do and make better decisions by moving away from absolutes and instead adop probabilistic thinking. this also helps set the right expectaions and feel dissapointed less often.

Nice :)

My boss asked me to read this 😅 Will share notes when I am ready.

It's probably the only fiction book that's part of all MBA courses.
