Can’t Hurt Me – David Goggins
This is the life story of David Goggins; A retired navy seal that came from hell, and went back multiple times. His life was actual f*cked up, from living in poverty, experiencing insane racism, to being beaten by his dad and working for his dad as a child (at night) in his roller skate disco. […]


The Slight Edge – Jeff Olson
There are terrific books about habits and small steps, just like a book I have reviewed before (link). But the first version of The Slight Edge was already published in 2005, so it’s quite an OG. The central claim of this book is that you can turn simple disciplines into massive success and happiness. These […]


Supermarket – Bobby Hall
I’ve been quite curious about the fictional book ‘Supermarket’ because it is written by Bobby Hall, also called Logic. Bobby is a highly successful rapper/musician and has always been a creative genius. I admire his music and therefore was curious about him writing a book. It’s a challenging step in his career but he has […]


Stillness Is the Key – Ryan Holiday
Although the title seems a bit spiritual and wavey, the book is truly a helpful read. Ryan Holiday wrote the book and the main point of this book is how to find this stillness and why it’s important. I think everyone can feel busy sometimes, even anxious. Some find it hard to just be at […]


The top 5 books that changed me the most in 2019
In this blog post, I’ll chat a little bit about the books that influenced and changed me the most in 2019. Compared to last year, I’ve read a couple more books. In 2017 I didn’t read any book so I already made a lot of progress in 2018. In that year I read 10 books, […]


How to Stop Worrying and Start Living
It’s insane how old books can still be valuable and that applies to this book as well. Dale Carnegie was born in 1888 and is famous for his self-improvement courses and books. I was quite surprised to read that self-improvement was already at such a level during the time. After reading “How to Win Friends […]


One Small Step Can Change Your Life – The Kaizen Way
Although I’ve read this book a couple of months ago, there are still valuable and helpful things that I wanted to share from this book. While doing another book haul, I stumbled upon this book by Robert Maurer which caught my attention. The title is one of those titles that we might get offended by. […]


Leonardo Da Vinci – The Biography
Walter Isaacson has done it again. Being known for his incredibly well-written biographies about Steve Jobs and Einstein, Walter may have had the toughest challenge yet. Especially since Leonardo lived 500 years ago. You might wonder how Walter could write 524 pages about him in such detail. That’s because Leonardo kept thousands of notes and […]


Educated: A Memoir
I listened to this book as an audiobook because I wanted to make better use of my time. Listening to podcasts sparked interest as well to give audiobooks a try. I was working at my dad’s place, which doesn’t require a lot of thinking. So this was a great moment to choose an audiobook on […]
