Brief review: Willpower doesn't last long; habits do. The key to a good life and success is then dependent upon the type of habits we have. Tynan transformed his life by cultivating rich habits and in this book he gives a step by step guide to forming good habits. I am strong believer in the power of habit and routine. I had a lot of takeaways from this book and I am sure you too will. If you are looking to make changes in your life by forming good habits, this book is for you.

Brief review: What a book! I bet if you start reading it, you will finish it at one go. A perfect recipe for success. Few books have ever been written in a gripping story format giving the essence of life and business. It's about a struggling salesman Joe who finds a super successful mentor, Mr. Pindar teaching him the five laws of stratospheric success. The key message in the book is - 'when you give, you get' and 'your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them'. A must read of everyone.

Brief review: Everything we do; compounds over time. Darren Hardy himself is quite successful (owner of Success Magazine). He became a multimillionaire in his twenties. He makes his point by brilliant examples. How 125 calories every day can make you lose or gain 33 pounds over 31 months. How the routine of Michael Phelps made him a world champion. I liked this book because I am myself a big believer in the power of compounding. It's a no nonsense book. Concise and to the point. A must read.

Brief review: Originally published in 1923, it is known as the Gibran's best work. It offers timeless wisdom on matters like love, pain, laws, freedom, time, friendship, beauty, religion and many more. It is short yet powerful. I have read this a few times and I would very strongly recommend this book to everyone having interest in philosophy.

My recommendation: 9 / 10
Date read: 23rd Apr'17
Brief review: Ravi Subramanian is a great story teller. It’s a fiction, though seems like real life incident. It's about a best selling author and an aggressive and ambitious girl who want to become successful. A good way to refresh yourself by diving into this read in free time. If you like fiction (a bit of thriller and suspense too), you will enjoy this book.
