Atomic Habits – Why Small Changes Make a Big Difference On one occasion (this year) I subjected myself to a kind of “test.” And that was not eating refined sugar, i.e., sweets, for a month. My motive was to prove to some people (i.e., clients) that it’s absolutely doable… and it was… and it wasn’t…
12 Rules for Life – Jordan Peterson without a filter In my work with people, I occasionally encounter those who often aren’t convinced by what I can tell/point out/explain/ask them. You can see they simply think “it’s not that I don’t believe you, but you’re not (yet) some authority in the field of working with…
American Gods Next year it will be exactly 20 years since Neil Gaiman’s American Gods first appeared, a book that very quickly became an instant classic. It swept up every major award you can sweep up in the realms of sci-fi and fantasy (Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Bram Stoker…), and it’s been showered with top ratings…
Convenience Store Woman Uh, you don’t exactly feel indifferent when you finish the novella Convenience Store Woman… you’re not even sure how to position yourself toward the main character. Do you like her, is she endearing, problematic, do you pity her or try to understand her… but that’s precisely the point of this book, and…
Chicken Soup for the Soul In ancient times, inspiring and heartwarming stories were rare and traveled slowly. You’d hear them from reliable sources (or at least you believed they were reliable). You’d find them in books, and your heart would fill with optimistic energy; you’d regain some faith that the world wasn’t completely doomed. Honestly,…
Tribe of Mentors Uh, Tim Ferriss… to be honest, I’m not entirely sure what to think of him. I really don’t know. He’s one of those authors where I get the feeling that his blog and podcast are more interesting—and have more credibility—than his books. I’ve owned his bestseller The 4-Hour Workweek for ages, as…
The Briefcase When you finish reading The Briefcase by Hiromi Kawakami, you’ll be left with mixed feelings. And not in the sense of whether the book is well written or not—stylistically, it absolutely is. The confusion is more emotional: you won’t be sure whether you’re supposed to feel happy, sad, nostalgic, lonely, or something entirely…
Bears on the Road July, Year of Corona 2020. Text sent to eminent yellow press as a task during application for the eminent job of yellow journalist of yellow press. Task objective: Write a pile of fabrications and trash some Serbian businessman, preferably a successful one. Conditions: Important that it sounds shocking, that it mentions…
Originals Hmm… I have no idea how to review this book, which delighted and encouraged me in so many ways and is quite certainly (for me) one of the most pleasant surprises of 2020 (“Come on, and coronavirus wasn’t a surprise for you, you idio… ah, you wrote most pleasant, I just noticed, my bad…”…
Perfect Surprise As you may have noticed from the book reviews, I don’t easily pick up domestic writers of the “newer generation” (in terms of publication period, not their ages :D) and few of them have left any “wow” impression on me so far. There are exceptions, of course, like the first book reviewed on…
