Book #1
Do Hard Things : Why We Got Resilience Wrong by Steve Magness
The writer redefines what “TOUGHNESS” actually mean.
Unpopular opinion – a coach getting his players to train so hard that they vomit; or soldiers being put through various physical exercise until they can’t go on is not what toughness is. The late Kobe Bryant’s blackout workout came to mind.

It is actually what we have in our mind; the tenacity, persistence and resilience that differentiate one tough person from another.

I enjoyed reading the first few chapters as the writer gave several examples and case studies in real life. Currently at 40% progress, I am starting to feel like I am reading a psychology book.

Will see whether I can toughen my mind out to finish the book; or just leave and move to my next read.


Book #2
E-Myth Revisited : Michael E. Gerber
Second time read. I did not finish reading it the first time years back. The difference this time is that the words made more sense.

Like an amateur learning how to cook from the menu book; goes on to do it in the actual kitchen, notes the outcome, re-read the menu book and notices the things that could have or should have been done to make it better.

No matter how bad or unfair you think life is, sometimes all we need is just a little nudge to point us to the better direction.

Stay hungry, stay safe.
