Book : Atomic Habit

 Assalamualaikum & hey friends,


I just finished another book few days back and here is the snippet which I can share with you


๐Ÿ“šBook

Atomic Habit by James Clear


๐Ÿ“œ3 Things in summay

- Habit is compound interest of self improvement ; 1% improvement we develop for ourselves for each day will result in almost 38 times better self (compare to our current self) in a year whereas 1% degradation in ourselves will lead to almost zero

- Habit either good or bad will be always in a continuous cycle of "Cue - Craving - Response - Reward "

- 4 steps to create a good habit is 1. Make it obvious 2. Make it attractive 3. Make it easy 4. Make it satifying


๐Ÿ’ตPrice

Super affordable price I got from shopee is around RM19.


๐Ÿ“ƒPages

271 (exclude notes/reference section)


๐Ÿ“–Other related contents 

 - the best way to start a new habit

- the secret to self control

- how to make good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible


✅Advantage

Usually I will put disadvantage section here ; but since I don't find any which turn me into exasperation, then I will highlight its advantage. One of the fascinated things about this book is at the end of each chapter, the author had included a summary or crucial points. For me who just read few pages for each day and not in a 1 shot to finish the book, I find that this is kind of interesting approach by the author to strengthen his points to the readers and as a recap session to us as a reader. Due to this, I can declare that James Clear is one of my favorite author.


⚜️Suggestion

This book is highly recommended to those who want to improvise their daily habit, those who want to eliminate their bad habits, those who love to be productive in their daily errands etc..

Book : Think and Grow Rich

 Assalamualaikum w.b.t & hey friends,

Another book which I just completed just now and here is my snippet sharing


๐Ÿ“šBook

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill


๐Ÿ“œ 3 Things in summary

- A great desire to accumulate rich and fortune is needed in order to transmute it into its monetary equivalent

- The book had described 13 prominent steps on how to grow rich (I will not list here as I want you to get the book and read it on your own ๐Ÿ˜)

- There are 6 basics of fears which will prevent ones from being rich.

- Extra : If you can't control your mind, your mind will control you


๐Ÿ’ต Price

Seriously I forgot already how much I bought it from Popular Bookstore. I just checked in the Shopee and it costs around RM25 and you may get in Malay language version also.


๐Ÿ“ƒ Pages

273


๐Ÿ“– Other Related Contents

- 6 Practical steps on how to transmute desire into financial equivalent

- Symptoms of lack of persistence

- 13 major causes of failure


๐Ÿšซ Disadvantage

From my own view, there is a part where it is purely related to business (blatantly the book title will be related to business๐Ÿ˜ช) which I am not quite interested so far. During that time, I am almost give up to continue and but gratefully I don't.


⚜️ Suggestion

I want to suggest to anyone who seek the fortune to be rich. But, of course after you read it, I would say you still can't be rich but at least, you will know on how other successful people grow rich which we can imitate to accumulate fortune also

My New Books in 2022

Assalamualaikum w.b.t & hi,

In this entry, I just would like to share some of the books which I just recently bought from Shoppee. Actually, one of my wish lists for this year 2022 is to buy at least 5 physical books. In the previous year, usually I just targeted to get around 3 books. But since this year I got more budget, thus I increased the quantity. 

In the previous years, usually I would go to Popular bookstore and try to get any books which caught my eyes and heart. There was no any bucket list which I listed to buy before went there.

But this year, it's quite difference since I got already few books in mind due to suggestion from my newly favorite youtuber in productivity (almost every day I watch his video and record any crucial items).

And also, once I checked in the shoppee, the price is cheap and very reasonable which I was shocked also that time.

So below are the books together with the price (maybe if you make more survey  in Shoppee, you will get even cheaper ones) which potentially might be your bucket list also

1. Atomic Habits by James Clear (RM17.88)










2. Mindset : The New Psychology of Success by Carol S.Dweck (RM21.88)








3. Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans (RM21.18)

4. What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 by Tina Seelig (RM21.99)







5. The Making of A Manager by Julie Zhuo (RM21.18)








Total = RM103.41 (I got less than RM100 included postage fee because the seller provided voucher and I got free shipping voucher also)

If you want to buy from the same seller, you may search "I Reader" in Shoppee. (disclaimer : literally i was not paid by the seller as i am not that "notorious" enough to influence others ๐Ÿ˜‚)

For me the price is too affordable when compare to the knowledge which I will be getting while reading all these books. I'm eagerly and ethusiastically looking forward  to read all those books since curently I am still reading other book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

Hope my sharing will be benefical to anyone who read this entry.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (By Stephen R. Covey)



Assalamualaikum w.b.t


A few weeks back, I just finished another book as stated above which I think is good for all readers especially those who want to improve their lives.


I got the book from Popular Bookstore at Queensbay, Penang with price of RM56.90. I would say it is affordable to grab it.


The book is about 7 habits that we should practice in our daily life so that we will optimize our daily day effectiveness.


Here I list all the habits but I won't elaborate more as I think it is better for you to grab it and read it :

1) Be proactive

2) Begin with the end in mind

3) Put first thing first

4) Think win-win

5) Seek first to understand, then to be understood

6) Synergize

7) Sharpen the saw


The language used is very simple and easy to be understood.


Overall rating form my insight view is 9.5/10


Thanks for your time

Nikola Tesla: Imagination and the Man That Invented the 20th Century by Sean Patrick



Assalamualaikum w.b.t & Hi,


I am not going to review this book. I'm not good at it. Right now, I am trying to be a bibliophile (hopefully) 


Last night I just started to read this ebook thru Google Play Book and it went well for about 1 hour and today around I took around 10 to 15 minutes only.  


Actually, in science and technology, Nikola Tesla is one of my favorites. That's why I chose to read this book first. You may get this book thru google Play for free only.


In this book, it expounded about short story of this man. For me, it's kinda good book for all readers.


Do you know about the war of electricity? If not, then you should read this book. Go and explore also the genius code inside this book. Have a nice day

Still No Post??





Assalamualaikum w.b.t & Hi,



For book category, still no post ya? Hahahahha. I am so sorry. Actually, all my books are at my hometown. So, whenever I go back to my hometown, I will write reviews regarding my book that I have read.


Actually, I am not a bibliophile. But sometimes, I feel like to read. That's why I put book as one of my categories for my entry. Actually, those who love to read is very good. Seriously. You must be grateful if one of your hobbies is reading book.


Why book is so important? Actually book is not important. I might say it once again. BOOK IS NOT IMPORTANT. This is an honest statement from me. Why is it not important? The important is the contents inside the book, not the book itself.


Many things you may learn through reading like new knowledge, tips, motivation etc. Book is not necessary to be physically touch but can be softcopy also. However,certain people prefer to have a book which can be physically touch. 


Sometimes, our source of reading can be entry, blog, research paper etc. Even a comic is also good and might be able to give vital lessons to ourselves. Am I dreaming? No. Later, I will give list of comics that are good to be read especially for students from primary school until college. 


Stay tune ya for my review on books
