Hey fellow bookworms!

I think the title is self-explanatory. All genres are welcome. So let's goooooo!!!

My recs:
1. The Man who became Khali
2. The odd little bird who saved a family 
3. A Gift of Goddess Lakshmi
(Somehow these are the ones I thought to recommend, all of them are real life stories)

Software Developer

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

My current salary is 42LPA. I am from IIT, have 7 years of experience and work in product. Honestly, my value in the market is higher than what I’m being paid but I am very demotivated to optimise for that. When I do see less deserving people minting more money, I feel that I am doing injustice to myself and playing the wrong hand.

More and more though, the thought of earning more money chokes me a bit. I have dreams of building something of my own - that gives me control to build something my way and freedom to live my life as per my terms. But the mindset of “zyada paisa pareshaani hai” doesn’t leave me.

My family also is not dependent on me and whatever is needed from my side, I actively contribute to. I also lack any motivation to focus on my investments and see my money grow. I just have money sitting around in my bank account purely for nothing

I also look at my lifestyle choices from time to time and go into existential debate of why we need the things that we do. This has come to a point where I really do not understand my relationship with money and why we earn and spend it. 

For me at this point, it’s just a show for the world. There’s very little that you need, and really no limit to what you want to show. And I just don’t see a point in it anymore.

Been reading everyone’s resolutions about reading 1 book/month. Honestly, I have never been to reading. Need something light to start with. The most i’ve read is manga/manhwa till date. something small to start with. more of a binge watcher.

started A man called Ove 2 years back, gave up after 10 pages.

haven’t read any chetan bhagat either.

What books should i start with?

Business analyst

Let's make this fun. Bring it in :D

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Title is self explanatory. You could mention anything from fiction, non fiction, course books (try to avoid pls🫢). Anything that you would remember for a long time! 

Starting with mine -

1) Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine (Fiction; Helped me during a particularly difficult phase in life)
2) Braving the Wilderness (Non fiction)
3) Harry Potter Series (I read the books recently, after watching the movies some 10 times. Just the imagination of the author is inspiring)
4) Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Fiction; best Agatha Christie novel ever)
5) Norwegian Wood (Fiction)

Looking forward to hearing from my fellow bookworms ☺️
