<div class="bbWrapper">Just wrapping up The Surrender Experiment by Michael A Singer. Definitely a book to reread.<br /> <br /> I thought this book was going to stay spiritual and hippy, but damn! Didn&#039;t realize he was a billionaire when I got the book.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">After finishing MLF I didn&#039;t know what to pick-up next so I grabbed <b>Lean Startup by Eric Ries</b>. Interesting ideas on how to seek validated learning while building a product and testing market demand for it.<br /> <br /> I think being an engineer is a curse because my role has always been about &quot;building the thing right&quot; instead of &quot;building the right thing&quot;.<br /> <br /> <blockquote data-attributes="" data-quote="" data-source="" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> “We must learn what customers really want, not what they say they want or what we think they should want.” </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> The next one I have on the list is <b>Zero to One by Peter Thiel</b>.

<div class="bbWrapper">Just finished <b>&quot;Advanced Interviewing Techniques&quot;</b> Fourth Edition by Jack Schafer and Joe Navarro. Navarro also wrote the book &quot;What Every Body is Saying.&quot; <br /> <br /> Both books cover body language, but the former also covers police interview (interrogation) techniques including how they plan out interviews, questions and question structures. Interviewing themes. Room setup. Reading room cues, eye blocking cues, distance cues etc. <br /> <br /> If you&#039;re already familiar with body language and interviewing, then it&#039;s a good refresher and reference book since the techniques are broken into short paragraphs designed for practical application rather than storytelling. <br /> <br /> If you&#039;re not familiar with police tactics and techniques, this book will open your eyes to why you should never talk to the police if you ever find yourself on the wrong end of an investigation. <br /> <br /> One of the real eye-openers is how the authors describe approaches for increasing the likelihood of a conviction even without a confession. Even when a suspect hasn&#039;t been found guilty, the police want to win, and a win looks like a conviction as an outcome for the time, effort, and energy sank into an investigation/arrest.</div>

All their effort will go wasted.<br /> <br /> At the end of the session they need you to confess all the wrong things you have said with a signature.<br /> <br /> They cannot demand you to sign on something just because you “said it”.<br /> <br /> A statement during an investigation is still a voluntary statement.<br /> <br /> The main trick of the police is to withhold the evidence, so that you don’t know what they know, get you to agree some facts, then challenge you by showing their evidence. Then waiting for you to crack.<br /> <br /> You can change the whole statement into “My head hurts and I cannot remember a thing. I need to rest” and sign on it.<br /> <br /> No one can stop you from doing that.<br /> <br /> If you fish out what evidence the police has it gives you time to build a defence by discussing with the lawyer.<br /> <br /> The next time the evidence will be shown to you is months later after the pre trial conference.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Almost done with UNSCRIPTED: The great rat race escape, by MJ DeMarco. <br /> After that I&#039;m planning on reading Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne. Seems like an interesting books concept on finding ideas and find new ways to compete in the market. <br /> The fiction book I&#039;m reading at the moment is All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr</div>

Your feedback gave me a great idea. Moving forward, I plan to evaluate the business books I read based on how well they align with the principles outlined in <i>The Millionaire Fastlane</i>.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Right now I&#039;m reading poetry. I discovered modern poetry is woke and left-wing unlike anything I&#039;ve ever seen. Maybe it&#039;s always been like that though? Despite this, I can still appreciate some of these poems as art, satire or even comedy. I guess in 100 years, maybe one or two good poets from today will be remembered.</div>
