Reading. I never used to open a book for more than 20 minutes but once I started reading books I actually enjoyed (Gladwell, Freakenomics, other books related to business, personal growth, human behavior etc) I realized what an amazing habit it is. You learn a lot, work your brain, give the eyes a break from a screen and you can take a good book/kindle anywhere. No power needed. Start reading books.
- ishwarn 13y agoCare to share some book recs? I'm always looking for new ones.
- mikeg8 13y agoOutliers, definitely the freakenomics books, I enjoyed Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Lean Startup, Power of Habit, Defining Decade (if your in your 20's, fantastic book), The Happiness Advantage, Great by Choice from Jim collins...
- ishwarn 13y agoThanks! From that list, I've read Outlier, The Lean Startup, and Power of Habit. Currently reading A Short History Of Nearly Everything, and I plan on following that with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. After that, I will probably jump on Defining Decade.
- sathishmanohar 13y agoI didn't like reading books as well, Even now its seems like work, that something I have to actively do. Then I started audio books few years back, I read (heard) more than 10 books that year alone, Now I'm just a consumer listening not actively reading. I enjoy books lot more.
