I believe the best way to begin (and conclude) the review of the book “The 5 Second Rule” is by attempting to answer three frequently circulating questions about this title online: Does it make sense to read this book if I’ve already watched the videos about the five-second rule (hereinafter referred to as the…
As time marches on, I am increasingly convinced that people harbor unrealistic expectations when it comes to books in the field of what I’ve dubbed ‘populogy’ (a term I’ve coined for “popular psychology”… maybe I should trademark it?). Books are literally receiving negative reviews with comments like “nothing new” or “I already know all…
If you spend any time on social media (“And seriously, who doesn’t these days” – note from the subconscious), you’ve undoubtedly noticed one loud, controversial, and somewhat directly (and painfully) bold man, who constantly posts video clips, motivational posters, and whatnot.

The War of Art – why you can’t start and how to change that As a very young person, I read “Gates of Fire” by Steven Pressfield and remember enjoying every page of the book (“Maybe you could re-read it since you don’t remember the novel” – note from the subconscious). Since then, many years…

However, if we were to attempt a translation, it could be described as “joy due to continuous engagement“. Essentially, it refers to something akin to the meaning of our existence,…
When I started this blog, I made one promise to myself. Whenever I touched upon books related to self-help, motivation, spirituality, and the like, I would strive to be cautious and, as much as possible, objective. For two reasons. Firstly, because there are too many books in these fields, and a large number of…
In the fall, when the “Book Fair” arrives (though it increasingly feels more like a fair and less about books), as it does every year, our beloved Paulo Coelho prepares a new book for us. In his latest work, he’s tackled Mata Hari. However, his previous book, “Manuscript Found in Accra,” left me somewhere…
