My #Q1report on #reading

The plan was to read MORE in 2021 than 2020

Here is what I learned

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
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's on a screen or with help from #Ebooks and/or #audiobooks

Start with 15 minutes before bedtime, you'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'm in a "classics only" book club.

We all wanted to #read Kafka, Dostoevsky, Hemmingway, etc.

..and finally we are
"Small steps to victory"

Just like any other #habit or #goal don't plan big.

Don'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.

@drgurner
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've managed to read during Q1 and some things I'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.
2

"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.
3

"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.
4

"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.
