Since this is my first post, maybe I should introduce myself. I am Vlad and about 3 months ago I got my first eBook reader. Since then I had read more books than I had read in the last 2 years prior to the acquisition. So I figured this blog would be a good way of keeping track of the books I am reading. Without further ado I bring to you: 404 Self Improvement Tips by Bob Bastian.
The book was good, considering it is a self improvement book. Out of those 404 tips I had realized that, let's say 25% of them, I have been doing already. The book is comprised into 4 categories, each with its 101 tips: 1 Money saving tips, 2 Success tips, 3 Health and fitness tips and 4 Romance tips.
Truth be told I had found some to be puerile, others to be inspirational and others simply not applicable to me. An example of silly tip is: "wrapping paper and bows" - create your own to save money. I would agree with this if I had my own wedding consulting company, thus cutting costs. As a simple gift giver I just buy a cheap gift bag and put in it whatever present I got. Easy and effective. An example of an inspirational tip is: "have balance in your life". I had realized that between work, school, family, love life, friends and time for myself, some part suffers because of the others. I know I should find some balance in this, but I am still working on this one. I will chat up my significant other after this review. The non applicable one would be: make women feel good. Since I am gay, I do not care about that, but I did take the advice about "make men feel good" and it worked.
As a conclusion: read it, I am sure you'll find it more useful and you'd think. I don't like self improvement books, either but this one will be worth your time. One thing I forgot to mention is that the success tips are mainly for business owners or people who want to start a business, be warned that the chapter might get boring after the first tips.
Ok, so this was my first book review. The book I am currently reading is: "Cocktails and Cockpics - A Grinder Love Story" by Chris Tracey. So come back and check out the next post.
