The Power Of Habit - Why We Do What We Do, and How to Change

The Psychology Of Money

The Art of Thinking Clearly
by Rolf Dobelli and Sulbha Subramanium
All of these have contributed significantly to my personal and professional growth.
@arpita_sinha1 I liked Psychology of Money as it helped shape some of the ideas around money, or why I want xyz.
Have you read any of Tony Robbins books on Investing? Like Money Master the Game or Unshakeable? I feel like those are very actionable in terms of what to do with money how to invest etc.
@arpita_sinha1 "The Art of Thinking Clearly" is one book that I have never read but keep getting recommended. I guess I will have to pick it up at my library soon.
Hi @arpita_sinha1,
Sorry for the late reply, I'm in the midst of the final preparations for jaevesAI's launch.
I noticed 'Outliers' and 'The Psychology Of Money' on your list - both are on my reading radar for next year. Also, the other books you mentioned seem fascinating, though I'm not familiar with them. Could you share a bit about how they've impacted you, especially 'Outliers' and 'The Psychology Of Money'?
Excited to hear your thoughts and dive into these reads after the launch!
Hi @reid_c,
Totally with you on 'The Psychology of Money'. And about 'Money Master the Game', I recently explored it through a YouTube video and some reading, which is why it's on my bookshelf, as you might have noticed. I'm curious, how does 'Unshakeable' by Tony Robbins compare? Does it offer additional insights or strategies that build on 'Money Master the Game'?
Eager to hear your take!
@arpita_sinha1 @immeral_sunstar,
'The Art of Thinking Clearly' sounds fascinating – haven't read it yet, but it's intriguing. From my experiences with Jordan Peterson's and Jim Rohn's works, I've learned the immense value of clear reading, thinking, and speaking. These skills are crucial, aren't they? Keen to hear your take on the book and how it aligns with this philosophy. Your perspective after reading it would be really appreciated.
I'm reading Introspect by @visakanv! So far I find it super interesting, surprisingly non-overlapping with his first book (Friendly Ambitious Nerd), and very well structured. It is... well, it is about introspection. And to hint at the contents a bit more, it is about the hardships we may all encounter on our journeys and how to overcome and/or integrate those hardships in subtle ways.
Here's the link if you're interested: https://visakanv.com/introspect/
@visakanv @blisstweeting,
'Introspect' sounds really compelling, especially with its mix of influences from Nietzsche to Joseph Campbell. Thanks for sharing the link – it seems like a unique read on personal growth and introspection. Will definitely consider it for my post-launch reading list!
@visakanv @abdalyousef yay! I will be happy if you read it! By the way, do you have a Twitter account by any chance?
Here's my bookshelf, probably not the kind of books that's most read on here, haha! But I thought it'd be fun to share anyway: https://www.goodreads.com/review...
@emnificent Thank you for sharing Emilie. I added some of your books to my own goodreads lists.
