What's your current read?

@jimmy_cerone Aah I can't help but think about manifestation in this context because our thoughts are so powerful they manifest themselves in our actions and we think it's our body that's giving up.

@michaelnle Incredible. Very relatable too, indeed. But today I believe it's not just about getting started but the decision fatigue that arises when thinking about what to get started on. There's so much out there that the real struggle has been to pick the struggle that you are willing to take.

@katerinabohlec I think by far the best book I have read on habits has to be Atomic Habits by James Clear - it's concise and can be read in one sitting. Although its something you'd want to keep picking up

@katerinabohlec Antifragile is tied for the spot of "best book I've ever read" and I didn't relate much (or any) of it to habits. Interesting that personal pattern/habit recognition was something you got out of it. Guess I'll be reading it again!

@zahscr For me, habits are stuff we do routinely. That means no variations from day-to-day. Certain habits make sense (e.g., brushing your teeth). But what about other habits? How will my productivity change if I, on one random day, don't drink coffee in the morning? It's just easier to stick to your (good and bad) habits. Less decision-making.

@kdrnp What is your opinion?

@szczepan_serwatka Acemoglu explains the key components of development for a society. It means why the UK can develop, why Pakistani can't. There are lots of different aspect of development, especially in social theory, the sociologist works on that. Acemoglu's theories explain the development in 2 sides which are nonabsolutist governments/states and easy reaching the slave trade. In the meantime, he focuses on why America did it. All in all, it is really an informative book. I suggest it.

@szczepan_serwatka @kdrnp Thanks so much for sharing, Kadir! Do you think I'll need a prior understanding on the issues before picking this one up? Or a general understanding of the political landscape would do?

@angelina_grischenko I've always been curious to read this book, after I finish what I'm reading, I take this one.

@ugo_buyzooka Très bon livre, contenu détaillé

@younes_al absolument :)

@kdegani That sounds super interesting. I love when parallels are drawn from a different time. Although, it has the downside of history repeating itself when things go south.

@mattsmith4u It is awesome book! but I got one solution from it that it focuses on the phrase of "Do more" and keep it up. Then Try to built this project https://androidcompare.com/
