Reviews of the books I have read and some learnings
The power of habit – Charles Duhigg
Following habits is not only a key part of our lives but also a key part of organizations and companies. All habits comprise a cue-routine-reward loop, and the easiest way to change this is to substitute something else for the routine while keeping the cue and reward the same. Achieving lasting change in life is difficult, but it can be done by focusing on important keystone habits such as willpower.
Ikigai – Hector Garcia Puigcerver
Living a long, happy, healthy life depends on eating well and getting plenty of exercises, but longevity extends beyond such simple daily practices. By finding a purpose that drives you each and every day, you can focus your energy and extend your years on earth.
The ruthless elimination of Hurry – John Mark Comer
We have all fallen prey to the hurry disease. We run from appointment to appointment, work long hours, sleep too little, and feel chronically stressed and exhausted. As a consequence, our relationships suffer, and we stop being able to be present in our own lives. Instead of looking to the latest meditation app for a solution, we can turn to the spiritual teachings of the Bible. Jesus was a master of mindfulness, long before that became a buzzword. He knew to take time for Himself, prioritize meaningful connections and limit what He consumed. By learning from His daily habits we can discover how to live more peaceful and fulfilling lives.
The Happiness Project – Gretchen Rubin
Look for happiness and find it – in all facets of life.
On the road to happiness: make good resolutions and take small steps.
Release your vital energy: be active and get rid of energy guzzlers.
