Blinkist

I shared 4 business book summaries in the last several weeks. I wanted to collect them in one post. You can have a look at them from the links below: 1. The Hard Thing About Hard Things: https://lnkd.in/djfCiM4V 2. The Venture Mindset: https://lnkd.in/dV4B3AZe 3. The Speed of Trust: https://lnkd.in/dStmx6NY 4. Building a Second Brain: https://lnkd.in/dsTkFi77 I became a big fan of audiobooks a while ago thanks to Blinkist. It’s a really effective way to discover new books in a short amount of time. I listened to more than 30 audiobooks on Blinkist, and when I really liked a book, I researched more about it online and even bought some of them as paper books. My initial plan was to share one book summary every week, but it really requires time to digest ideas and make a presentation from them. That’s why I haven’t shared a new one in the last 10 days. I aim to publish 2 new summaries this month. I hope you enjoy the summaries. Reading books is still one of the best techniques for broadening our horizons. I strongly recommend that you read these 4 books. #BusinessBooks #BookSummaries #Leadership #Management #PersonalDevelopment #Audiobooks #Blinkist #Learning #ContinuousLearning #ProfessionalGrowth #ReadingRecommendations #SelfImprovement #Productivity #Innovation #VentureCapital #Startup #Entrepreneurship

We can't wait to see what you do next, Hanna! 🚀

Are you coming back from vacation with fresh motivation, or is the thought of returning to work filling you with dread? The back-to-school season can put questions like “Am I happy where I am?” and “Is my job the right one for me?” into clearer focus—and if the answer is “No,” or “I’m not sure,” it’s the right time to start exploring what else is out there. But before jumping headfirst into your fall job hunt, it’s worth considering: What brings us lasting satisfaction at work? In contrast to the typical “follow your passion” type of advice, in his book “So Good They Can’t Ignore You,” Cal Newport makes the case for honing your skills and becoming a master at what you do (regardless of whether it was originally a passion or not) is an important component of work satisfaction. To discover more career advice, listen to the Blink to “So Good They Can’t Ignore You” on Blinkist: https://lnkd.in/e6bqtV9m

Setting boundaries might sound like building walls and keeping people at a distance. 🚧 But that's not the case, according to Nedra Tawwab who, in “Set Boundaries, Find Peace,” explains that boundaries enable us to get closer to one another by creating a safe space to open up and be vulnerable. To sum it up, healthy relationships need healthy boundaries. 🌱 Learn everything you need to know about understanding and setting boundaries, in the Blink to "Set Boundaries, Find Peace”🔗 https://lnkd.in/eW8UgZiu

How many you recall today isn’t that important—it’s the fact that you can improve with practice that matters. This exercise is inspired by the book “Smarter Tomorrow” by Elizabeth Ricker, a brain researcher focused on neurohacking. What is neurohacking? We tend to think that, once we’ve reached adulthood, our brains are fully developed, and our abilities fixed. But this is far from the case: our cognitive capacities can change, and a neurohacker looks for shortcuts to improve their processing power. In much the same way that computer hackers become intimately familiar with a system they’re trying to infiltrate, neurohacking is also about getting to know your own, marvelous, one-of-a-kind brain. Want to learn the principles of neurohacking and find exercises to map out and improve your skills? Then give the Blink of “Smarter Tomorrow” a listen: https://lnkd.in/e7TTmzei And be sure to check out our webinar recording with Elizabeth for more on how to get smarter in just 15 minutes: https://lnkd.in/eBeVrRXm
