Originals - How Non-Conformists Move the World

Adam Grant’s books are not your typical self-help guides. I’m often turned off by authors who insist on prescribing perfect habits and practices to become great, awesome, or the best. When I picked up “Originals,” I initially expected it to be another one of those “do this to get that” books.

I had made a decision in 2021, to be more open-minded about selfhelp books and not be overly judgmental. I’ve come to realize that there’s always something to learn or rediscover in any book. Sometimes, the most obvious ideas need repeating, as we tend to overlook them, and a reminder can be quite beneficial.

Sapiens - A Brief History of Humankind

Finally sat down and read the Sapiens and I loved it. I have to complement the author for making a history book so interesting. I could write a whole book about this book 😊 It gets you thinking and questioning a lot. About religion, about our upbringing, about how we react to things around us, how we should educate our children, the financial system, the political system, the shortcomings, etc etc. I could go on. I don’t agree with everything he has to say, but I love how he shows you a different perspective. You can have endless discussions on the topics he addresses and I don’t know where to start. The book was written in 2014, I wonder how he would have concluded it in 2023. I just started on 21 lessons for the 21st century to find out.
