Here’s a fact: You need a developed philosophy if you want to take control of your life. You see, life is a complicated mix of many different dynamics and responsibilities that are all woven together. I like to think of our personal Philosophy as our internal operating system (IOS).
In this book, you will find out how those who grasp the experience of financial freedom use their time. Prosperity is an end result that can be achieved by going through certain processes.

The 4 Disciplines—Focus on the Wildly Important; Act on Lead Measures; Keep a Compelling Scoreboard; & Create a Cadence of Accountability.
This book does an excellent job of breaking down the differences between the “whirlwind” of urgent activity required to keep things running day-to-day and all the time/energy you need to invest in executing your strategy for tomorrow.

At the beginning of 2020, I set new intentions to develop and drastically improve my public speaking skills. Talk Like TED is one of the books I’m reading to better understand what makes outstanding public speakers. I also joined a local Toastmasters group and plan to deliver (10) prepared public speeches. I recommend this book for those also looking to improve their public speaking & leadership skills.
This book is the solution that leaders at every level need—not just to understand the leadership game, but also how to play the leadership game, and win it.

“Stillness as Ryan Holiday puts it is the river and the railroad junction through which so much depends. It is the key . . .

I highly recommend reading this book as well as the rest of Ryan Holiday’s work.

Deep Work: Professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate.
Shallow Work: Non-cognitively demanding, logistical-style tasks, often performed while distracted. These efforts tend not to create much new value in the world and are easy to replicate.

Three to four hours a day, five days a week, of uninterrupted and carefully directed concentration, it turns out, can produce a lot of valuable output.” – Cal Newport
