Books I am reading in 2019

Inspired from dhh's post, I am writing the list of books I am currently reading or have read in 2019. I have also added my wish-list for the year.

The 5 AM Club

My only reason to buy this book was to have a copy - before my good friend got his. When I visited the book store, I had the intention of buying another title. But as only two copies were left, I bought it.

Robin Sharma uses his remarkable prose to uplift readers with inspiring words, concepts and examples.

After a few weeks, the ideas are now blossoming in my mind even though I haven't yet completed it. They become fuel that motivate me to disown mediocrity and rudimentary thinking and embrace a life of great thinking and building habits around expressing my best self.

I am now realising again - the importance of owning my morning - to elevate my life.

Flow

This book is about finding happiness and enjoying daily stuff without constantly seeking greener pastures and being miserable on the way.

The reason I chose to read this book is because I am often bored with trivial tasks at work. So the author shares plenty of insights, tips and techniques, such as gamification, to make such routine tasks more interesting.

Wish-list

The Ego is your Enemy by Ryan Holiday.

I think this book is interesting because it matches vividly with one of the basic concepts of Islam - you have to fight or overwhelm your ego and seek the way to God. Often times we are hurt by someone's words even if they did not intentionally mean it - and this audio or video keeps repeating in our mind. That's because we attached these words to our self, our ego and this hurts us.
