The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
5.0
A Great Read about Money, especially if you have never picked up a book about Economics, Business and Financial Management (and you don't intend to).
This book summarizes important concepts and delivers them in a very easy to digest manner.
It gets into the Psychology of how different people view money, and hopes to persuade you to view it in a better manner. (why make your own monetary mistakes, when you can just read this book and make better decisions?)

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle
5.0
If thoughts of the past linger in your head more frequently than you'd like, and anxiety about the future is the constant notion that keeps you up at night... this is a good book to help you appreciate and focus on the beauty and contentment of the present moment.
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Creating a Web Page by Paul McFedries

Interesting how a Techonology Oriented Book that was written 20 years ago is somewhat still relevant today.
Enjoyed the Glossary.

Feeling Unreal: Depersonalization Disorder and the Loss of the Self by Daphne Simeon, Jeffrey Abugel
5.0
If you occasionally, more often then not, find yourself questioning the 'reality' of reality to the point that it makes you anxious or depressed because you can't seem to figure out what is going on, you might want to read this book.
It is rather quite introductory, educational and easy to grasp.
If you know that you're 'derealizing' or experiencing derealization and depersonalization, you will definitely find this book interesting and helpful as a step towards understanding yourself more, the authors do present it in a comforting, non-judgmental manner.
Personally, I would definitely like to study this disorder further.
It does seem like a common affliction, and it also seems like a disorder that is present in not only art but within literary and philosophical geniuses.

Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement by Rich Karlgaard
5.0
Late Bloomers is an educational book about "blooming late" or achieving career success, "seeing the point" in things like relationships, dating and life in general, when you're above the median age range of your peers or "early achievers".
He further explains the role that is played by the prefrontal cortex when it comes to our executive functioning, which further emphasizes that we grow and develop at very different paces.
Good book to read if you either feel "behind" in life (behind what, if I may ask, when life is perpetually infinite?) or if you often hear, "You're so immature." by the Maturity Police.
This book will help you see things in a better, more informed light.

101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think by Brianna Wiest
5.0
I think this collection of essays is great if you're in your late teens, twenties and early thirties (mainly because you can sense that the author was or is quite young when she penned them).
If you often feel confused, as if you're in a rut, as if your life has become a continuous boring routine, and yet you know that you need to alter your thoughts and actions so that you can achieve better, purposeful outcomes... these essays are a step in the right direction, especially if you need motivation, guidance and an alternative voice in your head.
I like that it feels like you’re scrolling through social media when you're reading these essays, which means that they're very easy to digest and grasp, especially for the Millennials and Gen Zs with their questionable attention spans.
It might come across as repetitive, but repetition is the key to memory and habit formation.

Exactly What to Say: The Magic Words for Influence and Impact by Phil M. Jones

Great for Marketing & Sales Professionals.
The E Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber
5.0
A good book to read BEFORE you start a small business as it can open your eyes to some issues you might face especially personally.
But, if you have already started your business it can help you with the frustrations you might currently be facing.
You might have an "aha moment" and be inspired to re-strategize.

You Are Not a Gadget by Jaron Lanier
5.0
A Good Manifesto Against Automation and the Blind Worship of Machines and Algorithms.
You should read this book if you've been thinking about a "Social Media Detox."
It might inspire you to fall in love with humanity or real life again, especially now in the 2020s.
