Reading

Reading books had a transformative impact on my life in 2023. Before that year, I had never picked up a book, but now I can't imagine a year passing without one. Here's a short review of the books that have shaped my journey so far!

Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erickson

The author presents a fascinating exploration of the different personality types by categorizing people into four color groups: Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green, using methodologies derived from the DISC personality model. The book offers valuable insights into how these distinct personality types operate and interact, serving as a practical guide for improving communication with people of various "colors."

Additionally, it encourages self-reflection, helping you identify your strengths and weaknesses—critical steps toward self-awareness and self-regulation, which are essential in your journey to becoming the best version of yourself. If you haven’t read this book yet, I highly recommend it. Trust me, it will surprise you!

Think Again by Adam Grant

This is a must-read. The book emphasizes the importance of re-learning and re-thinking, encouraging readers to adopt a mindset akin to that of a scientist—always questioning and open to new ideas. Through real-life examples, the author highlights why adaptability is key to success in a fast-paced world.

My thoughts: The world is constantly evolving, and to keep up, we must continuously update our knowledge and beliefs while staying grounded in our core morals and values. Failing to do so means we risk being left behind.
