Pages: 224, Kindle Edition Published: 2014 by The Rebel Within Us Cover Rating: 5/5 I read a lot of business books these days and many a times I come across success stories of various entrepreneurs. But few of them talk about or share their story and how they got started from scratch. Jason Surfrapp’s Creativity for Sale: How I Made $1,000,000 Wearing T-Shirts and How You Can Turn Your Passion Into Profit, Too is a one of those few people.

Pages: 226, Kindle Edition Published: 2017 by Baker Books Cover Rating: 4/5 Reading People: How Seeing the World through the Lens of Personality Changes is the latest written flick by Anne Bogel. The title is so cliched and attractive at the same time that I decided to pick this book last week. For those of you, likewise me, are unaware of who is Anne Bogel, well, she is a blogger who excessively read books and share stuff like #bookstagram on her blog Modern Mrs. Darcy.

BOOK REVIEW: Powerful by Patty McCord

BOOK REVIEW: Powerful by Patty McCord

Posted May 17, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books / 2 Comments

The nature of business in the modern digital and information overload age is ever-changing. The foundation of Patty McCord’s book Powerful – Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility is that the as workplace progress, so should human resources. The author challenges the old, traditional corporate HR that include annual performance reviews, retention plans, engagement programs, etc. She clearly speaks her mind in the early chapters that these activities and actions are a mere waste of time and resources and why the modern day companies, irrespective of their number of employees should not practice them. I liked this ideology. I feel this is the most positive point in the book. All that corporate mumbo-jumbo is a distraction and I have […]

Debut work of author Kalyani, Bend Your Kneed and Do Your Best is based up on real-life drama of person who has devoted their whole life to one thing. To get happiness in the corporate world.

BOOK REVIEW: Before You Start Up by Pankaj Goyal

BOOK REVIEW: Before You Start Up by Pankaj Goyal

Posted April 20, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books, Non-Fiction / 1 Comment

The debut novel of Pankaj Goyal, Before You Start Up is about preparing for the life of an entrepreneur. This book offers insight on more than having an idea, evaluating it, the financial hurdle, and other pragmatic steps of launching your own product or a service company. It is a business book that I recommend especially to someone who might have doubts in their mind about the journey. Doubts are not at all like holes in the brain cells. They are an essential part of a critical thinking process. But they often lead to low creativity levels. I urge not to dwell in them much. Instead, read this book. The first 50 pages of this book are highly critical. The […]
