You know, I truly adore Haruki Murakami. Really, I do. I love his writing style, how you need to “push through” the first 20 or so pages of each of his books, how his characters are so imperfect, how each book, in its own way, tries to touch upon the meaning of life, whether…
And now it’s time for the last book in the trilogy Life-Happiness-Success. And now someone will say, “Let me guess. A small-format book, full of interesting and instructive stories and anecdotes, interwoven with quotes and Kenan’s views on life, happiness, friendships… Is it really worth spending money again on a booklet full of stories…
Here we have Kenan Crnkic again. And again, a beautifully bound booklet that can be read in one afternoon. And again, it contains familiar things. And again… a book that is worthwhile and to which you will often return. “Be Careful Which Wolf You Feed”. Honestly, I liked this book even more than the…
Life often has strange and unusual paths. During the period when I decided to (re)read and review Dr. Kenan Crnkic’s books, news came out that the aforementioned gentleman would hold a promotion of his latest book (“Outliving Life”) and a short (free) lecture in a Belgrade bookstore on Knez Mihailova Street. Is it an…
I hold a great deal of respect for Robin Sharma. I truly believe that there is power in his words and that he is not (nor will he ever be) just another in the series of those who write generic texts in motivational books. Starting with “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari”, Robin has…
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. His videos are shot using both mobile and professional cameras, and he hosts…
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…
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…
