First Person Singular There are some writers you simply either love or don’t. I’d say Haruki Murakami is one of those writers. When you start reading him for the first time, I think page twenty-something is decisive, and then you declare his (any) novel strange and incomprehensible… or it enchants you and draws you into…
You Were Born Rich “Zig Ziglar might be the master of motivation, Mark Viktor Hansen (Chicken Soup for Soul) the master of storytelling, Anthony (Tony) Robbins can be the guru of personal development, but Bob Proctor is the master of thinking (thought). Bob Proctor collects thoughts like Imelda Marcos collected shoes. He connects them together…
Fahrenheit 451 When I finished reading Ray Bradbury’s book, “Fahrenheit 451,” I wasn’t sure I could, like many, so easily award it the flattering title “masterpiece of the 20th century.” Does that mean the book is bad? Far from it! But for you to award a book such a title, several conditions need to be…
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…
Do you know what common thread runs through names like Norman Vincent Peale, Tony Robbins, or the now-cult documentary/book “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne, as well as dozens of other successful individuals in the world of business, motivation, and whatnot? They all share one thing in common: a small, blue booklet that you’ve probably…
I have always believed that “stories are meant to put small children to sleep and “wake up” the adults”. As children, we enjoy these tales (fairy tales, fables, anecdotes…), that is, their mystical/fantasy/fantastic element. As we grow older, we realize that many of these stories carry significant and meaningful life lessons. And later, when…
One of the most-read texts on this blog (in fact, this text is still the champion in terms of the number of visits) is the review of Mark Manson’s book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”. This book ended up on my shelf known as the “Shelf with books that must be…
This book and I go way back… there’s a lot of history there. How much, I wonder… about seven or eight years? Maybe a year more? When I first saw the book “Way of the Peaceful Warrior”, its title (including the cover) caught my attention, as did some quotes from the book on the…
Do you remember our friend Doppler from the novel of the same name by Erlend Loe? Our Norwegian friend who had enough of everything and went to live in the forest? As you probably recall, our brilliant friend, on one hand, had grown weary of people and their presence, and on the other, longed…
