Reading Review

This week I finished Book: Think Like a Monk and Book: How to Develop Self Confidence and Improve Public speaking. But... I am not going to lie I didn't enjoy reading Book: Think Like a Monk. Some parts its great but some parts are just really not in my opinion. Would I recommend reading Book: Think Like a Monk? Yes, but with a word of caution that some parts in it are not entirely scientific and should be taken with a grain of salt. Book: How to Develop Self Confidence and Improve Public speaking was a better than average read. It is definitely worth reading but it is not really an interest catcher. I didn't finish Book: The Obstacle Is the Way because I got too hung up on some good old Sherlock Homes.

Weekly Favourites

Experience - Hey this is a new type! The experience which I talk about here is the experience of taking 🌲Evergreen notes. It is simply amazing. When you read through the books material and get the gist of it to take detailed and useful notes, you get a feeling of real learning and a sense of accomplishment. I had this experience while taking 🌲Evergreen and smart notes on the Book: How to take smart notes. Before I knew it, I had written several evergreen notes each of which had some sort of an idea behind it.

Coffee - It is no secret that I love coffee. Previously, my horizons were limited to instant coffee but some time ago, I finally made the switch to ground coffee and I am telling you it was worth it! I have been buying all my ground coffee from Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters and my favourite so far has been the Kalledeverapura Pulp Sun Dried. I know the name is a mouthful but it is a great coffee and at a great price!

Books that I will be finishing this week

None. I will be focusing on taking notes on the books that I have read and publishing them. This week I guarantee the 🌲Evergreen notes on Book: How to take smart notes and perhaps even the notes on Book: The Four Hour Work Week. The perfectionist inside me, first wants to make a nicer evergreen notes view on the website but if I can't achieve that this week, I will be posting the notes in a rudimentary article format.
