Cashvertising. Really, really good so far. I'm dedicating the next couple of months to getting better at copywriting, since I already have all the technical skills that I need to create anything.

I'm currently reading Quiet... it's a book for introverts and definitely a must read for us introverts who struggle to co-exist in a world full of loud mouths and attention whores.

Reserved at the library. According to the reviews it's quite a good book

I've taken personality tests several times over the last few years. The usual result that I get for the E/I trait is that I'm an Extrovert but very close to being an Introvert. I read a while back on Ambiverts and I believe that describes me best. When I was a little younger I could easily say I was leaning even more on the extrovert side though.

Anyways, I've heard of the book before and it looks like it's on sale for Kindle. About to buy it

• Thinking, Fast and Slow - A Nobel winning classic on mind and behavior

One of the very first personal development audio recordings I listened to (when I was serious about personal development) was The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale. It was $0.99 on Amazon for Kindle and it's less than 100 pages long so I started reading it. Classic.

I just finished reading "Toxic Parents" by Susan Forward.

If you have had a hard relationship with either of your parents or both, if you feel or felt guilty, ashamed or angry for your past, if you have big goals but you feel trapped, unmotivated and confused most of the time, if you have developed any kind of social anxiety, if you start but don't finish things, if you feel inadequate or unworthy, if you feel like "you're not enough", if you often wonder WTF is wrong with you and why you have become the person you never intended to be... chances are your toxic parents caused most of it on your childhood years with what they did or didn't do and you haven't come into terms with it yet;

Chances are they are still manipulating you in more subtle ways. This book is a must-read, it deconstructs all the dynamics in an abusive or dysfunctional family so you can see how it affected you while growing up and what you can do to reclaim your life by the horns.

I believe it also would help you as a parent to be a better one.

Tons of "aha moments" and practical advice. Favorited & recommended.

I have been recently Reading the "Ten Commandments for Making Money' By Rabbi Paul Lapin, but my phone batt has recently died.
Anyway I was put on to that by Pickering MT I think, from this very thread.

Very highly recommended and not 'religious' at all, for any concerned atheists etc, although there are spiritual aspects .
Powerful,Insightful,Practical and very useful,in fact I think I saw somewhere that is on the INSIDERS reading list or gift list or something or rather, that should say something about it.

In my experience most people blow past this point by at least a few months... often a few years.

Many times reading becomes a form of procrastination and/or mental masturbation.

The roadside is littered with people who have read all the books and still haven't launched their first business. You fill yourself with so much information you can't even remember it all let alone put it into some kind of order to take action on.

A few concepts that have proven useful for myself and a few people I've shared them with:

1. Just in time reading. That means reading only what you are going to implement right now.

2. 10x production vs consumption. If you read for an hour you should spend 10 hours implementing what you learned.

3. The $10,000 book. Many of the $10,000 seminars you see are little more than the creators original book expanded and explained. Save yourself the $10k and treat the book like you spent $10k on it. Rather than blasting through it in order to get to the next book why not slow down and take action on all the core points?

Little golden post right there!

Great speech, but it's kind of strange seeing an introvert volunteerly talking to a room with hunderds of people.
