Useful Not True
Book • 2024
In 'Useful Not True', Derek Sivers challenges readers to question their beliefs and adopt thoughts based on their usefulness rather than their inherent truth.

He encourages readers to separate events from their interpretations, question their thoughts and memories, and choose beliefs that lead to positive outcomes.
The book is known for its concise and empowering approach, using practical examples and stories to illustrate its points.
