I'm a couple of chapters into 50's Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter. Seems ok so far.

I used to read a lot when I was a kid. Grew up on the Harry Potter series (like literally walking into a book store and asking if they had a release date for the next one yet).

His Dark Materials was my fave books growing up. Young Adult I guess so teenage years.

As an adult my favourite books were The Dark Tower series by Steven King. Absolutely phenomenal series.

as Ive gotten older i dont really read any Non Fiction like i did when i was a kid- teenager. I like books with perspectives i can maybe apply to my own life, or even if i cant i just enjoy reading other peoples perspectives on things. I find that putting my own opinions to the side and listening/learning of other peoples perspectives has helped me understand and navigate my relationships/friendships/ and my professional life in a more effective way. But anyway

subtle art of not giving a f---- Mark Manson

Discipline equals freedom
