What was the last book you read? 📚

Tried to pull an all nighter to finish reading a book which I was already halfway through. Sadly could only read 140 pages and now need to go to sleep because otherwise won't be able to function for work.

What did I just read 😂

Wtf did I just read 🥲

Last two months had been great, I was consistently building a morning routine. Included little fitness too.
Happy how my body felt energetic.
Until one day, "I didn’t feel like getting up"
Two weeks, Schedule is back to groggy mornings, skipped breakfast, put on visible fat

Work has got shittier.
My day starts with 2 hours of compulsory, back-to-back meetings, followed by more 1-O-1s through the day. 
The meetings are just crying how things are bad, not working out, employees are not putting efforts, revenue is down, sales is not performing, clients are leaving - 3 hours later, we still haven't got a action plan. What's the use?

This wasn’t meant to be a rant. 
Just that cannot tell people to fuck off.
I feel should tell a part of me to fuck off too.

All the bookworms in the house, which book are you reading currently? What’s interesting about it?

Which book are you reading?

Personally, Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

The concept of Antifragility, where systems and individuals not only withstand chaos but actually benefit from it, had reshaped my perspective on risk, resilience, and adaptability. It is extremely complementary to the writings of Marcus Aurelius but differing in key ways.

While both Antifragility and Stoicism encourage resilience in the face of adversity, they approach it differently. Stoicism emphasizes inner calm and acceptance of what cannot be changed, while Antifragility encourages actively seeking out challenges and volatility to grow stronger. 

For me, the blend of these philosophies provides a more holistic approach to navigating life's uncertainties, combining the wisdom of the ancient Stoics with a proactive stance toward embracing chaos and harnessing it for personal growth.

how many books have you read this year?

It stated with this - I did read 254 books in 2023 hence upped my target. I read on Kindle so easy to track. This target doesn't include audible books or physical books.

So if you are interested in reading but have hit a slump, want to start reading, looking for recommendations ask away & hopefully I can convert a few more viners into readers.

PS I'm always on the lookout for a good detective series.
