I picked up this book because I was looking for an instant motivation. A ready-to-lift-your-mood sorts. The brief was compelling and I headed right into it. Turns out that this book is more like a self-help refresher-it has points picked up from the best of the motivational reads and compiled all together, in short chapters that you can literally breeze through in an hour's time. The author sets out on a quest to compel you why controlling your thoughts is important, and does that rightly so. Th...
This book came up as a recommendation on my Kindle and I am regretting my decision to pick it up. It is just a mish-mash. This whole episode confirms to me that AI and ML still have a long way to go before it achieves considerable usefulness.
Nice short one. Actually learning something from it not just reading it. Somethings needs an updates or further information but nevertheless good read !
this would make a great blog post or podcast, but not all bloggers and podcasters have enough material for writing actual books. there isn't enough new information here to make it worth it. it sounds more like stray notes for a book that were shuffled together and printed. it's only 80 pages with a lot of blank space after every 'chapter'. they're more like vignettes, since they're only a couple of pages each. it doesn't go into detail about anything, just seems to ramble on and then stop and he...
There is plenty to like in this book. At about 80 pages, it will only take you about an hour or two to read. But...I think there are better books out there. *Essentialism*Personal MBA*Outliers*On the Shortness of Time *my own book: Underground Novel*Mindfulness for Beginners I think more than anything, this book should inspire you to write your own short book of personal philosophy, or at the very least to keep good notes of what you read.
It’s a nice book. Easy to read, but I don’t think it gets to the point. It’s a bit confusing actually...
I usually don't pick these Gyaan books for some obvious reasons. This books was surprisingly great and I am glad I read it. Its medium length, practical, direct and honest. Read it when you really are controlled by your thoughts. This was such an experience to me.
This is a blog version of Pragmatism, the thought movement (hard to call it philosophy because it argues against philosophising) started by William James and Charles Peirce. Centred around the moniker 'true is what works', Foroux elucidates that behavioural scientists tend to give a 'why' for our cognitive biases so he attempts to discuss a 'how' framework to filter our thoughts because it's the thoughts that leads to actions. There is nothing life changing in the insight he offers. It is all ve...
Amazingly quick read. No complex theories or practices. Simple and straight.
Easy but not an enjoyable readI think the author hasn't been able to fully express his ideas through this book. Beginning seemed interesting but the end couldn't meet my expectations.
"Cogito ergo sum.” which means, “I think, therefore I am.” and it sums up all. I enjoyed reading this which emphasizes on slow thinking and importance of free will which plays a deciding factor in a train of multiple thoughts
wouldn't have read if it's not available for free with prime.. nothing straight nor thought provoking
It's a nice book. It can be finished in 1-2 hours, but I found the book to be quite confusing. I didn't get what exactly author wants to convey to the readers.
It's a super short read and there are a few good ideas around achieving clarity of thought but presents a very incomplete view.Had expected better structure and depth.
This book is about the philosophy of pragmatism and how you can think straight and have a meaningful positive impact in your life. The author also references other ideas from the stoics, for example. The information density was not that high - for me, but it is a concise summary. I can recommend this book to people who want to read their first philosophy book.
