The Diary Of A CEO by Steven Bartlett

Recommendation from a colleague. Steven kept to his promise of it not being a long winded book. Easy read. Finally read his book after listening to his podcasts for a while.

main takeaways:
- if you want someone to be receptive, never start your response with a disagreement.
- questions prompt a psychological reaction that is different from statements. questions are a better form of call to action.
- to overcome a habit, do not fight against it. replace it with a positive loop instead.
- small wins are compact, tangible, upbeat, and non controversial. don’t underestimate the power of small wins.

fav quotes:
There is no greater form of gratitude than taking care of yourself.

It’s nearly always cheaper, easier and more effective to invest in perception than reality.


4.5/5 good pick up

one of the wonders of the human mind (or maybe even the world) is the split second when one draws inspiration out of the blue from everyday life

it has already struck me twice this year through 1) an interview video, 2) a book

which led to certain breakthroughs in thought processes

i feel compelled to write a beautiful descriptive paragraph of how it felt during the strokes of eureka, but my linguistic ability does not allow me to do so yet

chatgpt would kind of defeat the purpose of it as well

i believe everyone has had that moment before too

reminds me of a quote i read a long time ago which holds so true

somehow, we are all suspended in language
