ADVICE

Coffee Shop Ordering

Order filter coffee at coffee shops like Starbucks or Pret.
It's often the cheapest and best coffee, and if unavailable, they'll upsell you to a pricier Americano for the same cost.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Mark Manson

In this book, Mark Manson argues against the typical self-help advice of constant positivity, instead suggesting that life's struggles give it meaning. He emphasizes the need to focus on what truly matters and to accept and confront painful truths. The book is divided into nine chapters and uses blunt honesty and profanity to illustrate its ideas, encouraging readers to find meaning through values they can control and to replace uncontrollable values with more meaningful ones.

Deskbound

Kelly Starrett

In 'Deskbound: Standing Up to a Sitting World', Dr. Kelly Starrett provides strategies to reduce sitting time and transform your workspace into an active environment. The book offers solutions to eradicate back, neck, and shoulder pain, mitigate carpal tunnel syndrome, and improve overall mobility through 14 mobility templates. It is designed to help individuals maximize performance, lose weight, or simply live pain-free.

Atomic Habits

James Clear

Atomic Habits by James Clear provides a practical and scientifically-backed guide to forming good habits and breaking bad ones. The book introduces the Four Laws of Behavior Change: make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, and make it satisfying. It also emphasizes the importance of small, incremental changes (atomic habits) that compound over time to produce significant results. Clear discusses techniques such as habit stacking, optimizing the environment to support desired habits, and focusing on continuous improvement rather than goal fixation. The book is filled with actionable strategies, real-life examples, and stories from various fields, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their habits and achieve personal growth.
