I am one of those people, despite having written 6 books. I have a theory on it too. Something similar happened to me regarding choosing between unleaded green and leaded red petrol. I had a car that took leaded petrol. I changed to a car that took unleaded. Then I got a car that took leaded...

...records. Trump is a master negotiator, look at what he has done with tariffs to help business. Trumps skill is a deal maker, look at his books for that, like The Art of the Deal! I like the graphic you posted. I love pictorial representations of stuff. He does have style, but a style you...

...He creates more nukes. Trump has gone and met the guy, little rocket man :D, and tried to buddy up. One thing I have learned in negotiation books is that no one wants to negotiate if you don't like the person. Create the relationship, then go from there. I sincerely hope it works. Obama on...

I have a couple of old Microsoft Access books that I am contemplating throwing out. I think one is called Access Bible or something. It is a big thick book with getting on for 1,000 pages. I used these books a lot back in the day. But, I never use them now. But I have resistance to throw them...

The Compound Effect is good, but so is The Slight Edge. Both books are rated highly on Amazon and they are a good read covering largely the same topic. You can search for The Slight Edge images instead. It might make more sense. Incidentally, it is a good hack to look on Amazon.com (wherever...

...It is not at all obvious what is required. I had a look at lots of research on how to get myself to do things. Not so much self-help books but more scientific research. For example, I am half way through a book called, "Self-directed Behavior: Self-modification for Personal Adjustment". It is...

...and paste a sentence into Supermemo. It saves having to type it out. Yet reading on a screen is a bit more tiring on your eyes. I read my pdf books on my iPad. I then highlight. Then, just like with the physical books, I periodically add the highlighted sentences to Supermo, using copy and...

To broaden my knowledge, I decided to read a book on ethics. There was a particular series of books which had lots of pictures in them and that appealed to me! However, after finishing the book, I felt as though I learned nothing. It seemed that ethics is just dependent on your view. Did I...

While Sam Harris has become very well known, you still may not have heard of him. He is the author of several books, a regular speaker and debater, and has a popular podcast. He is into meditation, rational thought, debating from the atheists perspective, a believer in free speech, and has...

...up a little earlier, averaging 9:21am • Going to bed earlier, mostly before 11:30pm • Started reading again, with a good system to log books, page numbers and workload per day • Had 2 saunas • Had mostly small coffee at Costa • No pastry at Costa To work on • Get to...

...have been told to stay in lane is a skill within itself. I used to love reading Edward de Bono's stuff. Lateral thinking et all. He used to do these books with symbols, circles overlapping and so on. It appealed to my logical mind, yet the lazy side of me meant I never finished any of his books!

For me, I am using it for everything! Topics include: - Health - Programming - Non-fiction books - Evolutionary psychology - Wisdom - Exercise and diet - Work specific stuff - Rational thinking - Social and relationships What are you using it for? Are you a student and need to pass exams? Or...

Let the public decide what books deserve merit, not the gatekeepers!

Bestseller books are a thing of the past. Welcome to the brave new world of the uni-seller: a book custom-created for you by an AI that knows you inside out. It factors in all your likes/dislikes and inclinations. It spews out verbal garbage that it neither understands nor even tries to...

What about Fifty Shades of Grey, one of the best selling books in history. The audience is for women, yet it plays into every sexist connotation out there. Billionaire hero, who oppresses women, yet they love it! Hmmm, perhaps its own hypocritical audience is tapping into an evolutionary truth...

...> want to stop writing. That is why I am referring to what your expectations are. If you don't want negative reviews, don't write. All books get them. If you wanted your book to have more sales, create a book that you think will appeal to more of the public. e.g. Harold Robbins. If you...

I just came across a great image for you guys. It is about "number of books read and perspective!

I am curious how many books you read per year and of what type. Myself? I read a lot, but more often than not keep starting new ones without finishing the old ones! All the stuff I read is non-fiction, ranging from pop-psychology, to heavy going textbooks to business related material. One habit...

...into the wheelchair. Not only that, she started slipping down off the edge of the chair. I managed to put a stool under her, a cushion and some books to get some extra height, to stop her falling to the floor. I recommended to my father to call the ambulance but he was reluctant to do so. He...

There seems to have been quite a few books recently out about introverts, rebranding them as just fine and also to clarify what they actually are. It appears it is not just a question of quiet verses loud, but instead that extroverts get energy from other people while introverts get energy from...
