Book Review: The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph by Ryan Holiday
This book is a sort of different explanation of the concepts of Stoicism. The book claimed the original works by Seneca and others are very accessible but I found The Obstacle is the Way way easier to digest. This books claims obstacles are a good thing and tries to prove it with many examples of…

Book Review: Opening Skinner’s Box: Great Psychological Experiments of the Twentieth Century by Lauren Slater
This book is very entertaining and contains a lot of details I wasn’t familiar with but to be honest, not many that are important in my opinion; so, if you are as familiar as I am with the great psychological experiments, it’s just entertainment (and I’d say good one). I really like that she managed…

Profit first is essentially taking the profit out of revenue before your company eats it away.…

Book Review: Tap Dancing to Work: Warren Buffett on Practically Everything, 1966-2012 by Carol J. Loomis
It was OK. Because it’s a series of articles and not a real biography, there’s no cohesion. I think the biggest problem with this book is how boring the subject matter is. Warren Buffet is obviously smart and a book trying to figure out how he does what he does could be interesting, but otherwise,…
