Master Your Emotions: A Practical Guide to Overcome Negativity and Better Manage Your Feelings by Thibaut Meurisse
I loved the presentation of content in the book. There are different aspects covered like ego, jealousy, motivation, procrastination, etc. For each topic, the chapter starts by explaining these and how our emotions are reflected in each. It gradually ends with some short term technique or long term solution to overcome them. There is nothing…

Speed Reading: How to Double (or Triple) Your Reading Speed in Just 1 Hour! by Justin Hammond
For 50% of the book, the author kept repeating that he felt he was a slow reader compared to his friend. Then he mentioned the key techniques somewhere in between and those were don’t read when you are cosy, don’t read after you had a heavy meal, sit straight while reading, don’t read before bed.…

Life’s Amazing Secrets: How to Find Balance and Purpose in Your Life by Gaur Gopal Das
I heard the audiobook and I have to say Gaur Gopal Dasji’s voice is so calming. The book mentions the 4 wheels on which our life runs – personal life, relationship, work-life and social contribution. Each wheel has been discussed in detail with adjoining stories to explain how all of those are necessary for our…

Think Straight: Change your thoughts, Change your life by Darius Foroux
This book does not beat around the bush like the lengthy self-help books that can put you to sleep. It is short and quick. All the chapters are to the point, although it does not feel like a professionally researched psychology but more like getting a pep talk from a enthusiastic friend. It can be…

Why Not Me? A Feeling of Millions (English) by Anubhav Agrawal
To start with, I am so disappointed with the editing of this book, lots of spelling mistakes and a few sentences didn’t make sense at all. E.g., “My friend to stop bothering them sells now,” or “I hardened my exterior so that no one would know the soft interior of my heart.” What does this…

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson
I heard the audiobook and I must admit the first chapter itself pissed me off. Repeating F*ck innumerable times doesn’t make it sound cool and unique. I wanted to leave it halfway but just to do justice to my audible credit I heard it all. I have read/listened to a lot of self-help books and…

This is the second book by the author Portia that I have read and I am just falling in love with her. I enjoyed reading the book so much that I did pull an all-nighter to finish it. It was simply unputdownable. Ella and Emma are twin sisters but have ended up in two distinct…
