What book have you read/listened to that legit changed you?

[re'up]

I think everyone of them changed me a little, or gave me some perspective I didn't have,

besides like cheap cheap thrillers, genre fiction

ideally reading just adds to your knowledge and experiences, bit by bit.

Off the top of my head, it would be William Cooper’s behold a pale horse. That book changed my life from the time that I read it at 20 years old, to now. I know that you guys are going to crack on me about conspiracy theories, but, it just made me pay more attention to things. Especially the things that are right in your face.

 

[Studious one]

It was a good read and hard to put down, but the story has been hard to get out of my mind and I read it over a year ago.

Premise?

Rep! I just posted behold a pale horse. I think I read the Isis papers before, but I think I was really young then.

Sorry I couldn’t rep you. I have to change the reputation of 25 users. What the hell does that mean?

Changes the focus from goals to habits/systems which get results.

For example: every team wants to win a championship. It’s not the goal that sets the tone, it’s the continuous habits/systems.

It’s a great look at changing behavior within yourself

Thanks. Going to have to check that out. I wonder if they have a documentary on it?

I am a woman. Now I’m curious, why did you say that?

 

[Marco Zen]

The reviews said this was basically about how a veteran dealt with his (sex) crimes during the war...

If not, how good was the book?

The compound effect just talks about how your actions compound, how repetition effects results, and how stopping habits impacts things far more negatively than you think.

Start at 100.

50% increase takes you to 150
50% decrease from there takes you to 75
50% up from there brings you to 112.5
50% decrease brings you down to 56.25

Etc.
