From the moment I picked up this book (“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”), I became cautious. I’m particularly wary of books dealing with motivation, personal change, popular psychology, spiritual transformation… There was something strange about this book. Highly praised, sold in millions of copies, yet criticized by many for the author’s…
In the case of the story collection/novellas “Stories of Your Life and Others”, I must make an exception and immediately state my verdict… well, my final impression. That is – I do not recommend buying this book at full price. There, I’ve said it, at the risk of people who have already read these…

Rurouni Kenshin Sanosuke Sagara (Zanza): [about Kenshin] “Give him a sword and he’s unstoppable, but give him a bail of rice and he’s just an ordinary guy.” I adore “Rurouni Kenshin” (Americanized as “Samurai X”). For me this is not only one of the best anime titles, but also a series in general. Of course,…
The Hard Thing About Hard Things “I ask my children: what is the difference between a hero and a coward? There is no difference. It’s only what they do that differs. They both feel the same. They’re both scared of losing their lives or getting seriously injured. The coward refuses to face the inevitable. The…
