Opening prayer.
Reading is a relaxing, mindful and soul soothing activity.
I believe everyone should find 30-60 minutes everyday to simply read stuff.
Also if it& #39;s on a screen or with help from #Ebooks and/or #audiobooks
Start with 15 minutes before bedtime, you& #39;ll be amazed

Join or start a #BookClub
Monthly, quarterly, anything goes
A book club connects reading with fun and social behaviour + it creates commitment
Personally, I& #39;m in a "classics only" book club.
We all wanted to #read Kafka, Dostoevsky, Hemmingway, etc.
..and finally we are

Just like any other #habit or #goal don& #39;t plan big.
Don& #39;t start out with 800+ pages Russian classics.
Find a short book (like #TheGreatGatsby) and build microhabits, e.g. 5-10 minutes at a time, a few times a day.
Watch the habit grow.

Overall I love my new habits.
E-books and Audio books have helped me a lot.
Bonus: reading before bedtime has improved my sleep by a mile.

A few books I& #39;ve managed to read during Q1 and some things I& #39;ve learned from them.
(Some of these titles are Danish books but the subjects are well described in other literature)

1
"Back to work" - Dennis Nørmark
Nørmark wrote "Pseudo work" and now a post-corona version on the subject of meaningless work that fills up our days/weeks.
It shook me to learn how much "no bullshit" talk and asking for meaning in your work can achieve.
Sharp critical read.

"The great tech revolution" - @ChBoutrup
A great inspiration on #China and their amazing #transformation from #poverty into technology and #industry leaders.
Boutrup has an objective attitude towards both good and bad tendencies in China.
Great informative read.

"Business Cycles: History, Theory and Investment Reality" - @larstvede
Thorough historic walk-through in economics, business cycles, booms and busts. An amazing writer using great anecdotes and stories to explain complicated economic theory.
Learning experience.

"The great/green transition" - @jrgensteenniels
About transforming our society and economy into one that is sustainable. Nielsen challenges modern economic theory with cold facts - some projections might seem too dystopian, but the point is clear.
Refreshing and sharp.

"Sapiens" - by @harari_yuval
Shared this already. Amazing historic walk-through covering important concepts, factual as fictional, about the #humanspecies. Learn about everything from #humanrights to #psychology and #religions
I forcefully suggest this book.

"Women" - #CharlesBukowski
From the Book Club. Interesting read on the #realism of being an #alcoholic writer. Feels like reading #HuntersThompson - rough and straightforward.
Would not recommend it.
