5 Lessons I Learned From The Book 'As a Man Thinketh'

As-a-man-thinketh.jpg

1) You Become What You Think

You are what you are right now because of the thoughts you once had or have. If you want to change yourself, you should first start with changing your thoughts. All the actions of man arise from the hidden seeds of thoughts.

Just with the right choice and application of thought, man can ascend to divine perfection; while with wrong choice and application of thought, he can rise below the level of the beast.

Good thoughts and results can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results.

2)Your Mind is Like a Garden

The author creates an analogy of our mind with the garden. We either choose to cultivate our mind wisely or let it run wild. If we don't plant the seeds of beautiful flowers in our garden, the garden will itself produce some useless weeds.

Just as the gardener weeds out all unnecessary plants it is the responsibility of every individual to plant the right seeds, nurture them, and at the same time put out all the weeds. When we do this, our life becomes beautiful. But if we do the exact opposite and feed the weeds, our life becomes a mess.

3) Thoughts Not Just Affect Mentally, But Also Physically
How and what we think has a significant impact not just on the mental level but also physical level. The body is the servant of mind and it obeys the order of mind be it deliberately chosen or automatically expressed.

The author argues that the people who live in constant fear of disease are the ones who actually get it. Therefore being healthy is not just about the body, it's also more about the mind.

Change of diet will not help a man who will not change his thoughts.

Thoughts also affect how we age. If we just pause for a second and observe the people around us, we can see people in their nineties with bright smiling faces. But we also can see the people who are just in their mid-thirties whose face is drawn into unharmonious contours.

4)You Are Not Shaped by Your Circumstances

If you believe you can't get something just because you came from a different background or because your environment doesn't support you, you are wrong my friend. You are not shaped by the circumstances rather the outer world of circumstances shapes itself into the inner world of your thoughts.

No matter what the circumstances are, you always have the freedom to choose how to respond. And the best response is always to choose to focus on the areas you have control of. When you focus on what you have control over and improve that way, you win in life.

Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they, therefore, remain bound.

5)Actions And Thoughts Must Go Together

The knowledge preached by some of the self-help gurus about thoughts is that you will achieve whatever you think if you just believe it. This is also represented as a law of attraction and the idea is sold to many people.

James Allen, who is also considered as the pioneer of the self-help movement was clear that just having thoughts are not enough. Thoughts are just the starting point. And if we don't harmonize our thoughts with the right actions, we will never accomplish what we are set to.

Just wishing for things and waiting for them to come to you will not help you in any way. You must go out, take action and earn it, whatever it is you want.

9 Lessons From The Book "Think and Grow Rich"

Think-grow-rich.jpg

1⃣ There are plenty examples of very wealthy (and fulfilled) people that had a goal in mind and stuck to it until they succeeded.
🤓 Having a clear idea of what you want will help you persevere until you achieve it.

2⃣ The first step to any sort of achievement must be conquering your own mind.
😎 You must master your fears, doubts, negativity and procrastination if you intend to accumulate any sort of riches or success.

3⃣ Surround yourself with a group of people that share your vision and will push you toward your goal.
👉 This Master Mind group needs to be in harmony with you and must have a different skill set that complements yours.

4⃣ Master your thoughts; if you feed your subconscious mind negative thoughts and poor thoughts, negativity and poverty will become a part of your reality.
🤠 Whatever you want to achieve in life, you must learn how to think toward that goal.
5⃣ If you want to affect your subconscious, you need to mix your thoughts with emotions. You can't say, "I am going to become a surgeon" and hope that you will.
🙂 You need to actually focus and mix emotions as you say it, then you will convince yourself that you will make it.

6⃣ Be specific when applying for a job. Instead of applying for any job, make sure you apply for a specific role, being as precise as possible.
😯 You should say why it is beneficial for the company to hire you and not somebody else.
7⃣ Most successful people have the habit of reaching decisions promptly and of changing those decisions slowly.
😇 That way, once they have made a decision, they will not be influenced by people outside their Master Mind group.

8⃣ We will all face failure, but only those willing to stand up and fight again will be able to achieve success.

9⃣ Understand what kind of people are surrounding you. Some people's happiness is based upon comparing themselves to others, so if you do well, they will feel bad.
🙄 These people will always have comments to make and will send you negative thoughts.

10 Insightful Lessons From the Book "The 5 AM Club"

5-club.jpg


The 5 AM Club is a parable about genuine success.
The kind of success that will turn you into a hero.
Heroism may sound romantic, but it is possible for anyone to achieve it by embracing discomfort and working on daily habits for self-improvement.         

1. Natural talent is not what defines great individuals.
It is the extent of that potential that they capitalize on through consistency and relentlessness.

2. Freedom from Distraction
An addiction to distraction is the death of your creative production.
Concentrate on only a few projects, so you can make them exceptional.
Prioritize quality over quantity.

3. Personal Mastery Practice
All your actions within your environment are a result of what's happening within you.
External always expresses internal.
If you can master your inner world, you will master the external world too.

4. Day Stacking
Each day is equally important in the bigger picture of your life.
So, craft your life based on each day, focusing on the bigger picture of your life.
Always consistently and relentlessly stick to your focus.

5. The Secret of Morning Genius
When we get up at five in the morning, The cortisol levels in the brain decrease, while the dopamine and serotonin levels increase.
Flow is a state of mind when we are genuinely engaged in the activity that we pursue and lose track of time.

6. The Four Interior Empires
Mindset: Relates to the psychological aspect of our being
Heart set: Relates to our emotional intelligence.
Health set: Relates to our physical fitness.
Soul set: Relates to spirituality.

7. A habit maker lives by three key values:
Persistence and consistency are the keys to victory.
Your level of respect for yourself is ultimately determined by how much work you put into completing what you have started.
Your performance when there is an audience.

8. The Benefits of Journaling
Journaling multiplies our clarity and awareness.
Journaling also allows you to plan effectively and set demonstrable goals.
So, a simple act of writing in your journal can genuinely elevate your life.

9.The Pre-Sleep Ritual
When we talk about getting up at 5:00 AM, it's impossible unless we sleep on time.
9:00 PM to 10:00 PM is when you have to prepare for your sleep.
If you practice gratitude before you sleep, your day ends on a high note, a positive note.

10. Use Joy as a GPS

Spend time with people who spark joy in your life.
You should also spend time on the pursuits and in the places that spark joy.
When you use joy as a GPS, you ensure you are happily achieving your goals.

10 Top Lessons From The Book "Ego Is The Enemy"

Ego-is-my-enemy.jpg

Ego Is The Enemy reveals how a tendency that's hardwired into our brains
– the belief the world revolves around us and us alone – holds us back from living the life it makes us desire so much, what we can do to overcome it at every turn .
1. Talk, Talk, Talk
❓ What is scarce and rare? Silence.
The ability to deliberately keep yourself out of the conversation and subsist without its validation.
👉 Silence is the respite of the confident and the strong.

2. Become A Student
🟢 The pretence of knowledge is our most dangerous vice, because it prevents us from getting any better. Studious self-assessment is the antidote.
✅ To become great , you must all know what came before, what is going on now, and what comes next.

3. Don't Be Passionate
⛔Passion typically masks a weakness.
Its breathlessness and impetuousness and franticness are poor substitutes for discipline and purpose and perseverance.
👉What humans require in our ascent is purpose and realism.

❌Pride blunts the very instrument we need to own in order to succeed : our mind.
✅Our ability to learn, to adapt, to be flexible, to build relationships, all of this is dulled by pride.

5. Follow the Canvas Strategy
🌱That's what the canvas strategy is about — helping yourself by helping others.
🟠Making a concerted effort to trade your short – term gratification for a longer – term payoff.
6. What's Important to You?
❓On an individual level, however, it's absolutely critical that you know who you're competing with and why, that you have a clear sense of the space you're in.

7. Meditate on the Immensity
🧘🏻�♀️Remind yourself how pointless it is to rage and fight and try to one – up those around you.
🤓 Let the feeling carry you as long as you can. Then when you start to feel better or bigger than, go and do it again.

8. The Effort is Enough
☝️Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self – satisfaction in knowing you.
Do your work. Do it well. Then "let go ." That's all there needs to be.
🟢Recognition and rewards — those are just extra. Rejection, that's on them, not on us.

9. For Everything That Comes Next, Ego is the Enemy...
🔸Not to aspire or seek out of ego.
🔹To have success without ego.
🔸To push through failure with strength, not ego.

10. Epilogue
👉Every day for the rest of your life you will find yourself at one of three phases: aspiration, success, failure. You will battle the ego in each of them.
🟢You will make mistakes in each of them. You must sweep the floor every minute of every day

10 TOP Lessons From the Book "Can't Hurt Me"

Cannot-hurt-me.jpg

. 1. The Worst Conditions are the Best Training Conditions
🧠 From then on, I brainwashed myself into craving discomfort. If it was raining, I would go run.
✅ Whenever it started snowing, my mind would say, Get your running shoes on.

2. Turn Adversity into fuel for your Metamorphosis
🚫 Because when you're driven, whatever is in front of you, whether it's racism, injuries, divorce, depression, obesity, tragedy, or poverty, becomes fuel for your metamorphosis.

3. Confidence comes from personal accountability
✍️ The author says : By the time I graduated, I knew that the confidence I'd managed to develop came from personal accountability which brought me self respect, and self respect will always light a way forward.

4. Write Down What makes you Uncomfortable and go do it
👉 Dig out your journal again and write down all the things you don't like to do or that make you uncomfortable.
✅ Especially those things you know are good for you. Now go do one of them, and do it again.

5. Smile at pain, Watch it fade, and Push a bit more
😊 Smile at pain and watch it fade for at least a second or two. If you can do that, you can string those seconds together and last longer than your opponent thinks you can, and that may be enough to catch a second wind.

6. You can Do More
💪 The author says: Hell Week is designed to show you that a human is capable of much more than you know.
💯 It opens your mind to the true possibilities of human potential, and with that comes a change in your mentality.

7. Push Hardest When you want to Quit the Most
❗Because it helps you callous your mind. It's the same reason why you have to do your best work when you are the least motivated.

8. Push 5–10% Further
🏃🏻�♀️Whether you are running on a treadmill or doing a set of push-ups, get to the point where you are so tired and in pain that your mind is begging you to stop.
❌ If the most push-ups you have ever done is one hundred in a workout, do 105 or 110.

9. Most People Waste 4–5 HOURS a day
⌚Most people waste four to five hours on a given day, and if you can learn to identify and utilize it, you'll be on your way toward increased productivity.

👥 We need to surround ourselves with people who will tell us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear, but at the same time not make us feel we're up against the impossible

13 Top Mindset Lessons From The Book "ATTITUDE Is Everything"

Attitude.jpg


1. Our Thoughts Drive Our Circumstances
🟠  If you think you can do something, then you can. If you think you can't, then you can't. You're right either way, as your attitude will impact your outcomes.
✅ Try to change your attitude to positive.
2. Your Attitude Is a Mental Filter
🟠 Use a filter of optimism instead of negativity. Instead of saying "I can't," you should be saying "I can."
✅ Then, when your Attitude is clean, you can finally see the world outside is full of positive opportunities.
3. Positive Thoughts Attract Success
🟠 We become what we think about. If we think about positive things and outcomes, success will follow.
😎 So you must exercise your positive thoughts. Think positive thoughts until it becomes a habit.
🔴 You're your yesterday beliefs.
4. Visualization Skill
🟠 If you are still failing, then you are still holding on to pictures of lower aspiration or failure.
✅ Rid your mind of negative factors. Create mental movies in your minds, picturing every milestone toward the ultimate goal you want to achieve.
5. Do Whatever It Takes
🟠 This is the key to getting what you want. So make this commitment to yourself.
✅ Once you have supplied this commitment, you will then be determined to reach your goal.
💯 Positive events will also start happening once you have committed.
6. Find the Lesson in Problems
🟠 How you react when faced with problems is vitally important. You have two choices:

• Learn a lesson from the setbacks and move on
Problems, are merely opportunities to take positive action and give us perspective.

🟠 Words have immense power. Your choice of words will define your personality.
🔴 Words –> Beliefs –> Actions –> Results.
✅ Since our Words ultimately lead to our Actions and In results, we must use positive words.
8. Exaggerate Your Happiness When Answering Questions
🟠 Your response can either be positive, mediocre, or negative.
👉 We should always avoid negative answers, as they drain energy from us and those around us. That's because our words affect our physiology.
9. Only Share Your Big Worries
🟠 Complaining about your back pain or headache won't provide you with a positive outlook. So complaining doesn't help the listener.
✅ Instead, focus on the positives.
10. Surround Yourself With Positivity
🟠 Spending time with people who have no ambition
will leak into your own beliefs.
👉 This will put you on the path to failure. Who we surround ourselves with is what we become.
✅ So surround yourself with positive people.
11. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
🟠 The people who succeed are those who overcome obstacles along the way, and you have to stretch yourself to improve.
🔴 Sometimes, scary challenges help you move closer to your goals. So you occasionally have to face your fears.
12. Kick On After Failing
🟠 If you avoid failure, you can't learn new skills. Those who are successful are those who have learned to fail their way to success.
🔴 To succeed tomorrow, you must be willing to fail today.
✅ Learn from your failures and improve.
13. Create a Network That Supports
🟠 The more relationships you build, the greater your opportunities for success. You can't succeed on a grand scale all by yourself.
✅ Others can help you solve problems, and provide valuable information and resources

9. Productive Meditation
🧘🏻�♀️ To strengthen your ability to focus and avoid distractions, find a daily activity that you enjoy doing.
🟣 While you do your activity, focus on your problem. This practice is called productive meditation.

10 key lessons to take away from the book "Predictably Irrational"
Predictably.jpg

1. Anchoring
We rely too heavily on the first piece of information we receive (the "anchor") when making decisions, which can lead to distorted judgments.

2. Social norms
Our behavior is strongly influenced by social norms and the expectations of others, even if those expectations are irrational or illogical.

3. The Power of Free
Offering something for free can be an effective way to increase demand and engagement with a product or service, even if it's something that has little value in itself.
4. The cost of zero price
A low price can sometimes be more motivating than a higher one — especially when something is offered for "free" — but there is often a hidden cost associated with no-cost products and services.

5. Loss aversion
We act to avoid losses more than we act to make gains, meaning we stick with what we already have rather than gambling on something new; this tendency can cause us to miss out on opportunities that could benefit us tremendously in the long run.

6. The effect of bundling
Bundling multiple items together can help induce customers to purchase more items than they would have otherwise bought independently, leading them to feel like they are getting more value for their money.

7. Supply and demand
Increasing the supply of an item will almost always lead to a decrease in its price, as people become less willing to pay high prices when alternatives are readily available; conversely, increasing demand without increasing supply leads inevitably to higher prices as people compete for limited resources or products.

8. Hyperbolic discounting
Humans tend to overvalue immediate rewards and undervalue future ones; this "hyperbolic discounting" leads us make irrational choices (such as delaying tasks or overspending) if we focus too much on short-term gratification instead of long-term consequences.

9. Choice architecture
A person's environment influences their decision making process; designing an environment that makes good decisions easier (e.g., default settings) can help ensure better outcomes overall by reducing confusion and friction points in the decision process itself.
10. Priming effects
Our brains are constantly running experiments—whether through daydreaming or actively searching—and our actions can be influenced by subtle stimuli around us (e.g., priming effects.) Being aware of these background activities and their potential influence on our actions helps us stay focused and make better decisions in any given situation.

10 key lessons to take away from the book "How Not To Be Wrong"
Mathematical-thinking.jpg


1. Mathematics is not just about calculations
Throughout the book, Ellenberg emphasizes that math is not just about crunching numbers and equations, but rather using equations to learn more about the world around us. He encourages readers to look at data and draw conclusions based on the analysis they can make from it.

2. Linear thinking can lead you astray
As the title implies, Ellenberg warns against relying too heavily on linear thinking when analyzing problems and datasets. Often times there is no straight line answer to a problem — instead we must look for patterns in data or experiment with different models to find solutions.

3. Keep it simple
According to Ellenberg, one of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to solve a mathematical problem is falling into the trap of complicating their approach unreasonably; always strive for a simple yet robust explanation for your findings.

4. The world needs good data
Having good quality data is one of the most important aspects of any scientific undertaking because it allows researchers to draw meaningful conclusions from their work. Ellenberg encourages readers to be mindful of what sources they are using when evaluating information and how that might affect their understanding of a topic in question.

5. Know what you don't know
One should never jump into a situation without being aware of their own shortcomings — knowing what you don't know will prepare you better than anything else in tackling difficult challenges head-on with confidence and intelligence.
6. Understand uncertainty & inaccuracy
Ellenberg drives home this point by using numerous examples throughout his book showing instances where estimates or predictions could not be accurate due to various uncertainties (e.g., natural variation). Understanding how error works is key for any mathematically-minded individual as it reduces bias when presenting results or interpretations from data sets.
 
7. Correlation does not equal causation
When looking at correlations between two things, don't automatically assume that one causes the other — this could lead you down an incorrect path as many factors could be influencing either side of the equation but never entirely linked together by cause and effect alone. Be sure you understand all variables included before making any assumptions outright about influence between two variables!

8. Recognize statistical propaganda
Have skepticism right off the bat towards conclusions made politically or financially driven entities show continuously (the media can often be unreliable). If someone tries hard enough they can use statistics in order to prove whatever they want so it's up to each individual analyst or mathematician involved in developing "conclusions" from datasets if those conclusions are actually valid!

9. Don't overfit your data
Overfitting occurs when one points text fits so well with observed data that the correlation appears strong even if its completely wrong — setting up models that overfit will only hinder your understanding of any given subject matter and may point you down false tracks when interpreting potential outcomes resultantly, always remember simple can be better!

10. Acknowledge unexpected results — facts aren't set in stone
Math doesn't always put you on a track paved with absolute certainty, therefore understanding technology doesn't always explain everything, or forecast predictable outcomes, have an open and inquisitive mind.

10 key lessons to take away from the book "The Power of Now"
Power-of-now.jpg

1. You are not your thoughts
Becoming aware that you are not your thoughts is the first step to enlightenment. Recognise when you become lost in thought and calmly bring yourself back to the present moment.

2. Stop identifying with certain emotions
Emotions come and go but they don't have to define who you are. Instead, observe how emotions flow through you and remind yourself that these feelings will pass.

3. Be conscious of what is happening around you
Pay close attention to all that is happening around you, even simply noticing people, objects, nature or the environment can be a powerfully calming experience.

4. Make time for stillness
Set aside regular time each day or week for complete stillness and quiet reflection without any distractions or forms of entertainment.

5. Challenge mind-generated beliefs
Examine commonly held beliefs and view them critically so as to establish fresh perspectives that open new doors rather than limiting your potential ways of being in the world.

6. Recognize the illusions preventing inner peace
Reconnect with yourself by recognizing the false images and illusions formed by your own mind which keeps you from experiencing true inner peace. 

7. Find joy within your everyday experiences
Even mundane tasks can be transformed into joyful experiences when approached with greater awareness of mindfulness, compassion, and love for life's simple pleasures such as walking outdoors or preparing a meal.

8. Transform suffering into peaceful acceptance
Acknowledge pain and suffering without becoming overwhelmed by it so as to accept whatever arises naturally while maintaining a sense of balance within yourself instead of resistance towards external forces or circumstances beyond our control.
9. Become aware of body sensations
Use body awareness practices such as yoga or tai chi to cultivate greater sensitivity towards physical sensations that come up during daily life activities like sitting, standing, or walking around.

Time spent in a natural setting reassures us of our connectedness with something far greater than ourselves which goes beyond superficial categories like gender, race, or social class.

"The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle offers readers a wealth of profound insights on the nature of living in the present moment.

10 lessons from the book "The Laws of Human Nature"

Human-nature.jpg

1. Define yourself by your motivations rather than external validation
It's important to recognize that our behavior is shaped by our fullest desires and goals, not societal pressures or external influences.

2. Understand that human nature is a complex combination of traits
People are capable of both good and bad, so it's not enough to make judgments based on simple labels.

3. Embrace complexity in relationships when dealing with people
Don't jump to conclusions too quickly because relationships come with nuances that require patience and open-mindedness.

4. Learn how to read people accurately
Learn the tells associated with body language, facial expressions, and vocal cues as observational skills can help us better understand those around us.

5. Honor each person's individuality
View everyone you meet differently since each individual has their own set of life experiences and perspectives.

6. Recognize the power of social contexts in human interaction
We live within a network of interaction - from family to peer groups - so be mindful of the ripple effect of your behaviors may have on those around you.

7. Listen attentively when interacting with others
Listening is an underrated but powerful tool during conversations as it allows us to present our ideas more effectively while gaining insight into another person's perspective.

8. Develop emotional intelligence which supports empathy
Learning about our emotions allows us to control them better which allows for greater understanding for someone else's situation.

9. Maintain integrity at all costs as it is crucial for cultivating trust from others
Being honest and true to oneself will build strong relationships in the long term as other can depend on having an accurate picture of who we really are at any given moment. 

10. Cultivate strength through mindfulness and humility
Self awareness helps observe one's successes without letting pride get in the way; Similarly, acknowledging mistakes are essential for self-growth.

Robert Greene's "The Laws of Human Nature" explores human psychology and the influence of emotions and influences on attempt to manipulate and take advantage of our natural reactions to such influences. It is an in-depth look at the motivations ruling decision making, behavior, thinking, and morality and how they can be manipulated in an often powerless context.

10 lessons from the book "The Miracle Equation by Hal Elrod"

Miracle-equation.jpg

1. Embrace the pain. Many people are scared of facing their fears or trying something new, but it is important to acknowledge that discomfort and try anyway.

2. Get clear on why you are doing it. Setting clear goals and understanding why achieving them is so important can fuel your journey and push you through setbacks.
