This is a helluva book. So much value packed into each page. I feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn’t just motivating me but giving me practical tips on how to become the best version of myself. The book is well organized into seven thematic, instructional chapters...

I read this book for er… research? Well, I am in the music industry. But for real, I grew up in the MTV TRL era when Britney Spears was blowing up. And I’m sticking with my plan to read for pleasure (instead of for research). So, I read Britney’s book. I’m glad I did....

This is the book I needed to read at this moment in my life. Because I feel like I’m living according to its principles. It may even be that I feel a little guilty, and I’m looking for reassurance. Maybe it’s my own confirmation bias. I wanted to...

A thought-provoking treatise on modern work. In an effort to be more efficient, we’ve adopted tools such as email which has come to represent work itself. But this phenomenon is a race-to-the bottom, as we now live in a hyper busy, hive mind society where...
