Buy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, and Build Your Empire

I bought this book because I heard my client mention it. He swears by it and says it has helped him structure both his life and the way he works. I was curious and wanted to read it to help me understand where some of my client’s ideas and suggestions come from.

I waited two weeks before writing this review to see what I could still remember and whether any of it had made an impact. I also wanted to make sure I wasn’t dismissing it as hot air too soon.

Kasher in the Rye: The True Tale of a White Boy from Oakland Who Became a Drug Addict, Criminal, Mental Patient, and Then Turned 16

This book was a recommendation from Mayim Bialik in some post as a must-read and life-changing, so I was intrigued and picked it up. I have mixed feelings about this book. It is honest and open, and a bit too detailed for my taste when it comes to the drugs being used and the mind-altering experiences associated with them. It was also sad and upsetting. It is distressing’especially to see how society and people can be enablers by overlooking, not paying attention, or simply turning a blind eye to what the youth around us are actually doing. At the same time, it is inspiring to see someone get so lost and yet make the right turn when you are convinced there is no way out for them. What I didn’t like at all was the foul language and the generalizations. The constant use of the word retards and the making fun of special-needs children was distasteful. Much of the humor also felt overcompensating and tiring.
