For me it is "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway. The book, in a graphic and very descriptive manner, explains and shows the brutalities and hardships experienced during wars, and specifically, in this case, the Spanish Civil War. It is based on Hemingway's own experiences during the war, when he was working as a journalist for the North American Alliance of Journalists. I just enjoyed the way this book was written and it is one of the best books that I have read.
"Gray House" by Mariam Petrosyan. You may read this book 2-3 times and every time you will find really significant things that could change your mind about the world.
@realvladgolub excited to give 'The Art of War' a read and see what insights it offers.
what did you find most valuable or thought-provoking about the book?
@nihalkothiyal Yes, definitely.
Let me tell you short story - how this book helped improve my marriage.
We had a fight, and I asked her to talk to me after reading this book. By the time she reached Relationship Mastery - we were both writing down our rules and code of conduct in our marriage. Till this day we follow our mutual rules to be happy and sane!
This is just one small part, and I must say we typically gain knowledge from lots of places, but find the "Tipping Points" in some special books... you get me?
To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. It is a classic novel that explores themes of racial injustice, compassion, and the loss of innocence through the eyes of a young girl named Scout Finch. https://www.yourtexasbenefits.bid/
As a creative, I would recommend: One+One=Three by Dave Trott
As a founder who runs a creative/design studio, I'd recommend: Radical Candor by Kim Scott
@marilena_n I read it in 2022.
I'd love to know your thoughts about it! What were your key takeaways from the book, and did you find the concepts and strategies helpful in your life?
@nihalkothiyal it actually changed my lifestyle! Now I have my morningh routine before I start work, my mindset is very different from what it used to be, I no longer try to control what I can't and I have accepted that most things that happen to me are probably driven by something I did. How about you?
