How I Tamed The Voice In My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, And Found Self-Help That Actually Works
Dan Harris
overview
Author and News Anchor, Dan Harris who was struggling with addiction while trying to be ambitious in the competitive world of journalism had an on-air anxiety attack and was on the brink of a total life meltdown. This prompted him to seek help, sober up, go to therapy and eventually agree to embark on a spirituality themed journalism project his boss Peter Jennings (a legendary news anchor) was pressuring him to undertake. This project exposed Dan Harris to a myriad of religious figures, self-help superstars and the likes. He eventually stumbled upon what he feels might be the answer to his conundrum, Mindfulness. To achieve this he had to learn Meditation, being a pragmatic person he had to first demystify the whole concept and distill the true lessons from the standard pretentiousness associated with it. In this book, Dan Harris reveals all he learned in a funny yet enlightening way, he made it easy and practical for people to actually use Meditation in their everyday life.

Time constrains the purposefulness of our professional and personal lives. In our 24/7 always-awake and always-connected world, there’s so much we need to do to be successful in our professional and personal pursuits, and so little time to do them; even though we sleep less and less to make “more time” to do them. Do you feel time-constrained in your professional and personal lives? Most of us are under a constant time crunch. Week in, week out. Laura Vanderkam, the author of “168 Hours”, makes a counter-argument ― there are 168 hours in the week, and there is enough time inside of those 168 hours to live purposefully in our professional and personal lives. Then if we rinse and repeat, there is enough time to live a purposeful life, 168 hours at a time. Is Laura Vanderkam right? Find the answers in this time-management book you need to read.

overview
We don’t want to be vulnerable because culture sees any vulnerable person as weak and open to attacks of all sorts; which is not a good thing. So, we put up a false front of strength by masking our vulnerabilities; at great cost to us. For example, we fail in leading teams or corporations assigned to us, or in providing spiritual leadership, or in raising our children to be the model citizens we dream for them to be; because we mask our vulnerabilities. In “Daring Greatly”, Dr. Brown makes a case for being proudly vulnerable and seeing it as a strength instead of a weakness. In her opinion, daring greatly will keep us from falling for the pressure of scarcity our society exerts constantly on us. We would see no need to try to keep up with our society’s expectations. We would just enjoy being our authentic selves, warts and all.

Cal Newport

overview
Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide a sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a superpower in our increasingly competitive 21-century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way. In this book, professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. He makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. And then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four “rules,” for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.

Many people have laughed at the idea of a new currency, maintained by the computers of users around the world, but that has not stopped it from growing into a multi-billion dollar technology, supported by the hordes of followers who have come to see it as the most important new idea since the creation of the Internet.

So, how did we find ourselves in our present dilemma where they have now occupied the core of our lives, and taken away our time and our attention? Are we forever condemned to this predicament of ours or is there something we do about it?

overview
Motivation theory would have us believe there are two main drivers of human behavior — the biological — our need to satiate our hunger, thirst and our sex desires; and rewards and punishment — our need to earn society’s rewards and avoid its punishments. In 1940, Professor of psychology Harry F. Harlow of the University of Wisconsin, conducting a study with rhesus monkeys, “stumbled upon” a third drive — intrinsic motivation; our push to do tasks for the inherent satisfaction we derive from doing them. This third drive is more valuable than the other two, but is more fragile because it requires the right environment to thrive. Daniel H. Pink, in “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us,” elaborates on what this third drive is all about, how we had it by default at birth and lost it, how we cannot be the best we ought to be without it, and what we can do to bring it all back.

We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been — we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked — the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education, and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness. What’s going on? In “Everything Is F*cked”, author of the worldwide bestseller “The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck” turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Mark Manson dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom — and even of hope itself.

Now, detailing the mind-set and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat, Extreme Ownership shows how to apply them to any team, family or organization.

What percentage of the world’s population live in poverty? How many girls are out of school today? Why is the world’s population increasing despite a reduction in the number of children per household? Hans Rosling is a professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon. Anna Rosling Rönnlund is a Swedish designer who, with her husband Ola Rosling, developed Trendalyzer, interactive software for visualizing statistical information. In this book Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective — from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases.
