Books
Finished reading: The Barefoot Investor by Scott Pape 📚As a long-term envelope (YNAB/Actual Budget) disciple, I found some of this too non-specific. Although it has some good thoughts on longer-term financial planning.
Finished reading: Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami 📚 A slow-moving story that kept me engaged, but I’m not sure what I come away with at the end.
Currently reading: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin 📚
Finished reading: Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami 📚 Probably one of the weirder books I’ve read. Entirely compelling, but I’m not sure I comprehend what I read.
Should I spend $16 to buy a Kindle version of the book I’m reading so I don’t have to deal with small print? The pink highlight shows the Kindle viewport. 📚
Currently reading: Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami 📚
Finished reading: From Strength to Strength by Arthur C. Brooks 📚My takeaway is that I am in a spiral career transition. Plus I now have an excuse as to why my energy levels for work are lower than they used to be.
Finished reading: Thirst by Scott Harrison 📚on Headway app (🪜). Glad I only committed 13 minutes to the book, rather than actually reading it, because it was terrible.
Currently reading: From Strength to Strength by Arthur C. Brooks 📚Time to start thinking about Act II (or is it III?) 🤷♂️
Currently reading: Transforming the Difficult Child by Howard Glasser 📚
Currently reading: Atomic Habits by James Clear 📚
Finished reading: The Tools by Phil Stutz 📚 As with any “self-help” book, application is the key. Interesting how in alignment with stoicism many of the concepts are. There is nothing new in the world.
Currently reading: Top Five Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie Ware 📚
Currently reading: The Tools by Phil Stutz 📚
Finished reading: The Dry by Jane Harper 📚 I ruined this excellent whodunnit mystery by taking far too long to read it. Shame on me.
Currently reading: The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday 📚
Finished reading: Relationship Reset by Lissy Abrahams 📚
Finished reading: Belong by Radha Agrawal 📚
Finished reading: Disentangle by Nancy L. Johnston 📚. This book has taught me things I didn’t realise were a thing.
Finished reading: The Anxiety Handbook by Calistoga Press 📚
Currently reading: The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday 📚. I am hoping I will be able to read this each day this year. I need to escape the mental health dangers and associated anxiety of ruminating upon things I can’t control.
Finished reading: A Guide for Grown-ups by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 📚
Currently reading: Principles by Ray Dalio 📚
