Daniel Wendler – Improve Your Social Skills by rus My social life took a bit of a hit when I first fell ill almost 2 years ago now. I went from squatting twice my body weight at CrossFit, salsa dancing, performing fire shows and going out 3-4 times a week on just soda and lime to breaking down, becoming a recluse, feeling terrible all […]
Neil Gaiman – The Ocean At The End Of The Lane by rus This was a really fun read, although it was aimed more at teenagers and I was expecting something more adult, the only other Neil Gaiman book I’ve read was his collaboration with Terry Pratchett, Good Omens. The story is a dark one, with death, suicide, witches and a portal to another world, told through the […]
Mark Manson – Models: Attract Women Through Honesty by rus Mark Manson keeps popping up on Facebook as a suggested friend, as we have many friends in common. I have never met the guy, so I haven’t added him, but I did decide to read his book to see what he was about. It’s a pretty cool book. The secret is in the title, the […]
Joel Fuhrman – The End of Diabetes: The Eat to Live Plan to Prevent and Reverse Diabetes by rus Joel Fuhrman is a nutritarian and he has a series of books revolving around juicing and ingesting as many nutrient dense foods as possible (fruit, nuts and vegetables) for their health benefits whilst laying off meat and animal products. Claiming that people that follow his diet can put their organs in to nutrient overload, with […]
Chris Guillebeau – The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future by rus This took me much longer to read than it should have. I started it in September 2014 and finished it in May 2015 whilst on the train to Vienna. I think I found the writing style disengaging. The book though does contain awesome stories of success as well as insightful information, the biggest takeaway being […]
Jordan Gray – How To Be The Most Engaging Person In The Room by rus This book was either free or £0.99 so I thought I’d give it a pop. At 29 pages it’s ickle. Very ickle and was a doddle to read. After 15 years of spending my 9-5 mostly isolated at a desk with nothing but Skype, iTunes and a set of earbuds for company I now spend […]
American Diabetes Association – What To Expect When You Have Diabetes by rus This book is split up in to 170 different questions, questions like: Can I catch diabetes from someone else? Why should I work so hard to improve my blood-sugar level? How will alcohol affect my blood sugar? I easily get overwhelmed with decisions. Would I do better if I had planned meals? Why is fat […]
Richard Allen – How To Dominate Property Investing In The UK by rus This book was very similar to the previous property investment book I read, Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People’s Time, Money and Experience. The buy, remortgage, reinvest technique was exactly the same but one thing that this book covered, which the previous one did not, was ways to identify the going market […]
Steve Alten – Phobos by rus The 3rd and final book in Steve Alten’s Mayan trilogy, Phobos was a bit of a head fuck but wrapped things up superbly. With multiple time lines, the story was starting to get more confusing than the Terminator franchise, but it was still an enjoyable read!
Steve Alten – Resurrection by rus Whilst not quite as awesome as the first book, Domain, Resurrection was still really good. Starting pretty much where the first book ended this one featured far less archaeology but intertwined the Mayan doomsday prophecies with the characters in the story, explaining how they fulfil it. After reading it, I had to push on to […]
