Diary of a CEO
Great read on the fundamentals of life. Chapters are short and precise with notable quotes from inspirational figures. Some laws were questionable such as “Create a Cult Mentality”, whereas others like “Never compromise your story,” were pivotal. Contains snippets of wisdom for anyone navigating business and relationships, especially people in their 20s. Would re-read some laws again.
Minor Feelings
Eye-opening book on cultural criticism and racialized consciousness in America. Hong provides an awareness of multiple problems experienced by people of color. Well worth the read for anyone interested in cultural identity and the history of Asian immigrants in America.
Running Smart
A good book outlining the scientific background of the sport of running. Covers everything from mentality, gear, training, etc. with useful tidbits here and there. Explanations of studies tended to drag on.
Finite and Infinite Games
Carse's "Finite and Infinite Games" challenges conventional thinking on life's objectives. It distinguishes finite games, like projects, from infinite ones that have no end. While the book can be abstract, it prompts profound reflection. The concept of "Master Players" exemplifies an infinite mindset, impacting how I approach my goals. I'd rate it 3.5/5 due to readability.
Running with Purpose
Discover Jim Weber's inspiring journey in "Running with Purpose: How Brooks Outpaced Competitors" as he leads Brooks Sports, Inc. through challenges and changes. This biography offers valuable lessons in leadership and entrepreneurship, with personal and business insights. Rating: 3.5/5 stars.
