Why you should read “Think and Grow Rich”

While “The 7 habits of highly effective people” shows you the most essential principles that you must know and master, it does not actually teach you just HOW to master these 7 habits.

I think you should have heard of at least one of these two books. “The 7 habits of highly effective people” and “Think and Grow Rich” (my review here). For whatever reasons, you may think that reading self-help books like these is lame. You may contend that you learn more from living life than from [...]

The cost of a great looking physique-there’s no such thing as something for nothing

Getting into the best shape of your life is tough. Inevitably at some point you will ask yourself: ‘Why am I doing this to myself?’ And it is imperative that you have no trouble answering that question. It is great if you can always come up with an answer, but it will be even better [...]

Why you finish your boring reading but skip working out

You have decided to get into the best shape of your life. You have been working out for two or three years now, and yet you are still scrawny. It’s time to change, to start anew. But 5 days from now, it’s back to normal. You miss a workout because you have too much work, [...]
