This book was extremely cooky, but really well researched and a great read. Combining pretty much every UFO conspiracy I’ve come across, with the Mayan doomsday prophecies and other ‘lost’ archaeology such as Stone Henge, this is the kind of trash I like. Fortunately it’s the first book in a trilogy and I ended up […]

With the success of my Amazon business I’m wondering what the next stage is, I’m already investing in the development of a SaaS platform which will be an interesting side project to run but property has been at the forefront of my mind for a long time. I was considering saving up and buying a […]

I don’t really suffer from procrastination, but I wanted to read this as research material for a project I’m working on after I’d heard great things about it. The Now Habit dives in to the psychology of why we procrastinate, essentially it’s because we want to protect ourselves from anxiety or fear. The book is […]

This book is my first introduction to Jungian psychotherapy and proved a great introduction. Whilst reinforcing concepts I’m sure most of us are familiar with already, e.g. the duality of introversion and extraversion, the parts I enjoyed the most were when recent revelations I’ve only recently discovered about myself where introduced in the book as […]

I first heard of Brene Brown after watching her 20 minute TEDx talk The Power Of Vulnerability. The Gifts of Imperfection offers readers a way to change their lives through adopting the practices of “wholehearted” living, an idea Brené came up with after studying concepts like shame, happiness, joy, anxiety and how they all relate […]

Simon Singh makes the story of the 300 year search for the solution to Fermat’s Last Theorem sound like Indiana Jones is searching for a great mathematical, lost treasure. Detailing the history of famous mathematicians such as Pythagoras, Eular and Fermat himself and how their work contributed to the creation of the riddle and the […]

One of the best selling books ever, third only to the Bible and Shakespear, Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History Of time was written to help nonscientists understand the questions being asked by scientists today: Where did the universe come from? How and why did it begin? Will it come to an end, and if so, […]

The Code Book traces the history of cryptography from its recorded inception in Roman times up through to the current applications as of it’s publication date circa 2000. All of the chapters held my interest and were riveting other than the, necessary, latter chapter on the the effects of encryption on US politics but it […]
