NOT A BOOK

Tim Ferriss is the author of The 4-Hour Workweek, a New York Times bestseller that incorporates the Pareto Principle and Parkinson's Law into a lifestyle of reduced working hours and more personal free time. After graduating from Princeton University, where he earned a degree in East Asian Studies, Tim started his first business selling nutritional supplements at the age 23. Since selling his business, he has become a Guinness Book Of World Records holder in tango and a host of his own program on the History Channel. Currently working as an angel investor, in 2011 Tim announced he would publish a third book, The 4-Hour Chef. The book is being released by Amazon.com and is expected to become available for purchase in April 2012. The 4-Hour Workweek is Tim Ferriss' first book. Detailing his personal experiences of success and failures in 'lifestyle design,' the book provides readers with a clear road map on how to outsource mundane work, reduce clutter and information overload to create smooth income streams and more free time. The author believes that pursuing dreams and goals now is more important than deferring them until after retirement, and his book promotes a variety of lifestyle design options that give readers exciting alternatives to the ordinary 9-5 routine.

Summary

Summary: David & Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell Whether a conflict is between two nations, two businesses, or even a person battling physical dysfunction, we tend to assume that the bigger and better armed of the opponents will take the day. That's why stories like the battle between Goliath and David capture our imagination - they are so remarkable. But Malcolm Gladwell proposes that we are missing out on the bigger picture - we assume too much about outcomes and miss some realities which paint a different picture. Certainly, Goliath presents an imposing threat, but he is generally not as invulnerable as we initially expect, and David is not without resources and options. In making this point in "David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants ", Gladwell reviews a number of underdog stories which illustrate his core message - that David is much more likely to succeed against Goliath than is generally expected - while providing insights into how each of us can find the resources needed to overcome our own Goliaths.

Summary: the Power of Habits by Charles Duhigg

Eat That Frog is a book written by Brian Tracy. In this book the author gives practical suggestions on how to be more productive. The most significant thing about this book is the author's emphasis on writing down goals, because writing down our goals will have a strong impact on us. The name of the book comes from Tracy's advice that before we start doing anything, we should "eat the ugliest frogs first." That has nothing to do with eating real frogs (fortunately); it refers to doing the hardest tasks first. When a person chooses to do the more difficult thing that need to be done and then finishes the task, this is a sign of a "high performing" individual. The book is divided into chapters, each addressing one part of the main subject. In this summary, we will cover as much of the material as possible, giving our readers the best possible idea of what the author is trying to say. Brian Tracy uses the analogy of the frog to emphasize the importance of setting clear priorities and completing essential (and sometimes undesirable) tasks. He reiterates Mark Twain's philosophy on frog-eating: When the first thing you do in the morning is eat a live frog, you master the courage to face the day because that is probably the worst thing you're ever going to do. If you must eat a frog, sitting and looking at it for very long will only make the experience worse If you have to eat two frogs, start with the ugliest.

Summary Of The Plant Paradox By Dr Steven Gundry Steven Gundry's The Plant Paradox is a diet book, which argues that many fruits and vegetables are dangerous to your health. Gundry says that a plant protein called lectin is responsible for obesity and many autoimmune disorders. Gundry offers a diet that eliminates lectins, GMOs, and other toxins. This diet will allow people to reduce weight, improve health, and eliminate a wide range of conditions including diabetes, heart disease, lupus, and more. Lectins are plant toxins. Plants evolved lectins as poisons to discourage insects from eating plant seeds or other parts of the plant. Lectins are in most plants and can cause sickness in humans. Eating good plants is vital for health, but many plants we typically think of as "healthy" are actually full of lectins, which cause damage to the body.

In 1989, Steven Covey published a business book or was it a self-help book? Actually 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a hybrid. Like a Toyota Prius or a Ford Focus blends electricity and gasoline to maximize efficiency. One can blend the way he or she conducts business and leads their personal lives to benefit both. The two are intertwined and when you lead life with poise, astuteness, dignity and a sense of purpose, success can be achieved. The paradigm or way to think about things is changed. A habit is a pattern derived from frequent repetition. It becomes an unconscious choice to act a certain way with oneself or with others. A habit can be as simple as waking up at dawn or saying thank you when a person lends you a favor. Covey puts forth that all successful people share these 7 habits, which become an integral part of a person's character. By striving to implement these character traits into our own lives, we can be effective and successful too. Changing our habit's to mirror those in 7 Habits of Highly Successful People is not simple. A process may require baby steps when our instincts tell us to take giant leaps. Fortitude is required but the payoff is enormous. The 7 habits toward success can be taken in three stages. Independence happens when we work on ourselves internally. These steps towards self-regulation include habits 1-3. 1.Be Proactive 2.Begin with the end in mind 3.Put first things first Once we achieve independence, it is time to improve interaction with others. In the words of John Donne (1572-1631) No man is an island, entire of itself; The following three habits will help us achieve interdependence. 4.Think Win-win 5.Seek first to be understood then to understand 6.Synergize The final habit of highly successful people is perhaps the most important because without it the others are no possible. 7.Sharpen the Saw These tools can set you on the road to success. 7 Habits of Highly Successful People has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and it can be read in over 30 languages. World known business leaders and heads of state like President Bill Clinton of the United States have found this book useful. The time is now to begin implementing them into your life.
