Self-Directed Learning
In the pursuit of finding my life purpose, I began on a quest of teaching myself about different topics to figure out what was my call. At the end I concluded, after reading many of books on different topics (all giving me knowledge, skills and wanting for more), that I could teach myself anything through reading and research.
Here are some of the books that changed how I see the world:
1. 12 Rules of life- an antidote to chaos by Jordan Peterson- helped me be more discipline and have personal responsibility through the adversities of life.
2. How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie- handbook on personal relations.
3. The total Money make over by Dave ramsey- help put in order my finances.
4. The intelligent investor by Benjamin Graham- taught me the principles of investing in the stock market.
5. The 80/20 principle by Richard koch, helped me prioritize effectively, manage my time more efficiently, and make better decisions by focusing on the few key activities that yield the most significant results.
6. The China Study by Dr. Campbell, a 30 year research in nutrition introduced me at least other 8 books in nutrition that helped me eat healthier.
7. The data detective by Tim Harford, was eye-opening for me, offering practical strategies to untangle complex data and statistics, which has empowered me to make more informed decisions and navigate information overload with greater confidence and clarity in everyday situations.
8. Tool of Titans by Tim Ferris, filled with inspiring stories and practical tips from top achievers that have profoundly influenced my approach to life, productivity, and self-improvement.
There are many more, this one are my most recent favorites.
