This article summarizes the productivity and entrepreneurship bestseller by the well-known Tim Ferriss. "The Four-Hour Workweek" is his first book and, in my opinion, the most valuable. What is the Four Hour Work Week? Truth is, the title of the book is misleading. You have to understand the context to see it. Tim Ferriss doesn't mean to suggest that we should only work for four hours a week. You see, it's not about laziness. The Four Hour Work Week speaks of clarity and effectiveness, automation, freedom, and independence. It discusses setting goals and ensuring that all our actions are focused ...

This book is a wonderful opener because of a number of reasons. But mainly, it examines common misconceptions about success and what makes someone successful. Before reading this book, I may have replied "talent, hardwork, and perseverance" to the question of what makes a person successful.

We see situations such as the one where a woman abandons her three children to her husband. Another example is that of a man losing his job due to a nonsense. Other cases are also ...

Today I am reviewing this book: Hope in midst of Pain by Kristen Wetherell & Sarah Walton. It is true that suffering is real. It doesn't matter if you're going through it yourself or if you know someone who is. There is good news. Hope is also real. For Christians, that hope is Jesus Christ. Hebrews has a verse that states, "Therefore those who have sought refuge from Him can feel secure in holding on to the hope that lies before them." 19: This hope is a solid and a reliable anchor for your soul" (Hebrews 6 : 18-19). NLT ...
